NEW PAPER IS OUT! Very proud that this work is finally available. In this paper we demonstrate the ability of the deflation method to obtain a wide variety of multibreather solutions without prior knowledge about their spatial profile. Great work, team! @AIPPublishing

Researchers from The University of Manchester created a graphene device to convert heat into electricity. The device uses the unique properties of graphene and its interaction with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Image credit: Isabel Anderson 1/
Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same occupation, and that it largely arises with the birth of the first child.

Your PhD is about the evolution of your mindset.
It proceeds through personal research experience, mentorship and development of key skills.
This is why PhD in STEM:
- is NOT about a thesis (very few people will read it)
- is NOT about finish your advisor’s project
- is NOT about attending new courses
- is NOT to learn how to use cool instruments (although it might be handy, it is of little help in a long run)
Yes, some of it will help you get hired. BUT PhD should not be about this.
▫️
PhD is about personal development, creativity and problem solving in a highly dynamic research environment.
First of all, it is about:
- Becoming a highly critical and creative thinker
- Learning how to think independently (against the local or global mainstream)
- Learning how to “jump-start” a project and bring it to perfection
- Discovering your strengths and weaknesses as a future leader
- Learning from massive number of mistakes without big consequences
- Learning how to accept failures and move on
- Understanding the value of teamwork and collaboration
- Publishing important studies and making discoveries (especially if you plan to stay in academia)
▫️
Of course, there are some “perks” that come with it:
1. Getting a good expertise in some field
2. Getting some idea about the world of academia and how things work there
3. Learning how to use fancy tools (microscopes, spectrometers, etc)
4. Learning how to write papers, etc etc
But these are only bonuses. They should not be why you are pursuing PhD.
▫️
As a prospective PhD student, do NOT look for a supervisor who will be simply assigning tasks to you and tracking your project.
Look for a good mentor and advisor who can help you develop YOUR leadership skills.
A proper research environment and inspiration to pursue your dreams are the key ingredients.

I am thankful for the support from everyone that believes in me and all people who were involved on this work and helped me through the years to achieve this remarkable goal.
I am glad to announce that I have completed my PhD in propagation of nonlinear waves on graphene superlattices at @IndustrialesUMA. I would like to thank my advisors @emulenews and Francisco Rus for their continuous help to get to this goal,
