Dr. Carlos Sabater is a Tenured Professor (Profesor Titular) in the Department of Physics at the University of Alicante (UA). As the principal investigator of two laboratories, the Quantum Transport Lab (QT-Lab) and the CryoLab, he directs pioneering research lines in quantum electronic transport across atomic, molecular, and two-dimensional material junctions. His approach—which combines quantum transport experiments under both ambient and cryogenic conditions with the development of advanced high-vacuum and cryogenic instrumentation, physical modeling, and machine learning—establishes him as an international reference in nanoelectronics and condensed matter physics.

His scientific career is distinguished by a strong international profile and high competitiveness. After earning his PhD at the UA, he completed five years of postdoctoral research at world-elite institutions: the renowned Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory at Leiden University (Netherlands) and the prestigious Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel). His scientific output encompasses over 40 articles in high-impact international journals, with 70% in the first quartile (Q1) and 20% in the second quartile (Q2). His research excellence is endorsed by the I3/R3 certificate, his recognized research periods (sexenios), and a remarkable ability to attract competitive funding as Principal Investigator (PI) for Ministry projects and through his successful track record in the GenT program of the Generalitat Valenciana (in both its junior and senior modalities). Furthermore, he is the author of several international patents and utility models that translate fundamental knowledge into tangible technological innovation (STM, biosensors).

In the realm of academia and institutional management, Dr. Sabater maintains a firm commitment to young talent, having directed and mentored over twenty students and researchers internationally, ranging from undergraduate to postdoctoral levels. Alongside his intensive teaching responsibilities, he serves as the Mobility Coordinator for the Physics Degree and the Double Degree in Physics and Mathematics (FISMAT) at the UA, and holds the position of President of the Alicante Local Section of the Spanish Royal Physics Society (RSEF).
