Héctor Rodríguez obtained the Degree in Physics by the University of La Laguna (Spain), where he has collaborated with the Laser Spectroscopy and High Pressure Group about the optical trapping and binding of microspheres and the study of luminescent ions.

 

He completed his training with the Advanced Materials Master Degree in the Autónoma de Madrid University. He has investigated optical trapping of luminescent nanoparticles in the Fluorescence Imaging Group in this university. He has studied this topic deeply by means of stays in the Heriot-Watt University of Edinburgh and the University of Verona.

 

At present he is a PhD student in the Optical Nanomanipulation Laboratory of IMDEA Nanoscience Institute, co-directed by Beatriz Hernández-Juárez. His interest is centered on electromagnetism, especially in the physic fundament behind optical trapping and the matter-radiation interaction.
