About
Theory of quantum materials,
from stacking to light.
Eric Suárez Morell is a Professor in the Physics Department at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María (USM), in Valparaíso, Chile. His research centers on the theory of two-dimensional materials — their electronic properties, topology and optical responses — with long-standing work on twisted bilayer graphene and moiré systems.
He earned his Ph.D. at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María and completed his undergraduate studies in physics at Moscow State University. His group combines tight-binding and first-principles approaches to understand how stacking, twist and symmetry shape the physics of layered quantum materials.
