    Ángel Rubio

    Ángel Rubio (born 27 September 1965 in Oviedo)[1] is a Spanish theoretical physicist and director at the
    Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg. Rubio is also a Distinguished
    Research Scientist in computational quantum physics at the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute in
    New York City. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American
    Physical Society.

    Life
    Rubio studied physics at the University of Valladolid, which awarded him a licenciatura in 1988 and a
    doctorate in 1991. After working as an assistant professor (Profesor Titular Interino de Universidad) at
    Valladolid for a year, he went to the University of California at Berkeley as a postdoctoral fellow in
    October 1992, where he remained until 1994. He then returned to Valladolid as an Assistant Professor
    (Profesor Titular de Universidad). In 2001, he moved to the University of the Basque Country in San
    Sebastián, where he has held a professorship since April 2001 and leads a research group on nano-bio-
    spectroscopy.

    Rubio's research stays abroad as a visiting professor have included stints at the Laboratoire des Solides
    Irradiés of the École polytechnique in Palaiseau (2000-2001), the Free University of Berlin (2005 as well
    as 2006-2007), the University of Montpellier II (2007), and the University of California at Berkeley in
    2014.

    At the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, Rubio was a Distinguished Visiting
    Scientist from 2009 to 2011. In November 2011, he became an external scientific member and leader of
    the Theoretical Spectroscopy group.

    In November 2014, Rubio became the Director and Head of the Theory Department at the Max Planck
    Institute for Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg, Germany. Since June 2016, he has been a
    professor at the University of Hamburg. In 2017, he became a Distinguished Research Scientist at the
    Center for Computational Quantum Physics at the Flatiron Institute research division of the Simons
    Foundation in New York City.

    Research
    Rubio's research concerns theoretical solid-state physics, in particular the theory and modeling of the
    properties of solids and nanostructures, with a focus on Carbon nanotubes, nanowires, and particularly
    semiconductor clusters under the influence of electromagnetic fields.[2]

    Rubio and his collaborators work using numerical methods. Areas of work include developments in
    many-particle theory and time-dependent density functional theory, including ab-initio descriptions of
    electronic excitations, optical spectroscopy and ultrafast spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy
    and spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, as well as the characterization of the electronic and
    optical properties of nanostructures.

    He is acknowledged as a pioneer and leader in the area of computational materials physics and one of the
    founders of modern "theoretical spectroscopy".[3] He is also the originator of the widely used ab initio
    open-source project "Octopus."[4] He pioneered the development of "quantum electrodynamical density
    functional theory," focusing on the prediction and characterization of new non-equilibrium states of
    matter and the modeling of strong light-matter interaction phenomena in materials, nanostructures and
    molecules.[2]
