Dr. Carlos Sabater has focused his research on nanoelectronics, specifically on electronic transport in atomic, molecular, and two-dimensional materials junctions. His studies encompass both experimental and theoretical approaches, using atomistic models and first-principles calculations. He currently holds the position of Distinguished Researcher at the University of Alicante (Spain), where he joined the GenT program (CDEI, equivalent to a Ramon y Cajal) in 2019.

In 2022, Dr. Sabater obtained the CIDEGenT (senior) grant to fund his own research and to incorporate students. Also in the same year, Sabater received a Grisolia Fellowship, which allowed him to include a Ph.D. student in his group. He actively participates as a researcher in one of the nodes of a European Horizon 2020 FET Open project (No: 964593, e-Prot). In the last 5 years, he has published over 15 articles in high-impact international journals, as well as three book chapters.

Dr. Sabater's international trajectory is highlighted by his postdoctoral stays and active collaborations with the University of South Africa, Yachay Tech University (Ecuador), and the National University of Costa Rica. His most recent postdoctoral stay was at the prestigious Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel), considered the first non-American research center and ranked tenth worldwide. There, he specialized in molecular and spintronics electronics. His first postdoctoral stay was for 3 years at the University of Leiden (Netherlands) in the renowned laboratory of Nobel laureate Kamerlingh Onnes, where he excelled as a reference in the measurement of electronic transport in atomic, molecular, and two-dimensional materials junctions under ambient conditions, as well as in high vacuum and cryogenics.

Dr. Sabater holds two patents: the first is based on the use of electronic transport through a graphene gap for biomolecule measurement (WO2017211991A3), and the second, currently under evaluation (P202230548), pertains to the construction of a microscope for twistronics and spintronics studies. His academic trajectory and the relevance of his research position him as an outstanding researcher in the field of nanoelectronics.

Since 2019, Professor Sabater combines his research work with teaching in the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Alicante. He is the coordinator of a subject in the Physics degree program and teaches in Biology and Mathematics degrees. Additionally, throughout his career as a researcher, he has supervised a total of 21 students, including 1 postdoctoral researcher, 4 PhD students, 3 master's theses, and 6 bachelor's theses.
