Biography

Marin Alexe is a professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick. His research focuses on physics engineering related to complex oxide thin films, exploring areas such as thin film growth and characterization, specifically in the deposition of metal oxide ferroelectric and multiferroic thin films. His investigations delve into various methodologies like pulsed laser deposition and chemical solution deposition, studying oxide thin film heterostructures, growth mechanisms, defect structures, and the structure-property-processing interrelationships. He also addresses properties of oxides and semiconductor interfaces, alongside interests in nanoscience and nanotechnology, with particular emphasis on ferroelectric nanostructures and ultra-thin films. Furthermore, he explores nano-fabrication technologies, the effects of size on nanoscale ferroelectric materials, and applications in micro- and nano-engineering for thin film devices such as dielectric magnetic multilayers and multi-functional sensors and memories. Prof. Alexe is actively engaged in research related to non-volatile information storage technologies and integrated optical devices.
