Clivia was awarded her Dr. Phil. in Physics in 1984 by Manchester University (UK). She then held tenured academic appointments at St. Andrews and Glasgow Universities in the UK and became a titular professor at Wuppertal University (Germany) in 1996. She was a research professor at University College Cork, Tyndall National Institute (Ireland) from 2004 to 2008. Since May 2007 she is ICREA Research Professor based at the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology (CIN2-ICN). Clivia has received awards from the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Nuffield Foundation and an Amelia Earhart Fellowship from ZONTA International (USA). She is author of over 370 scientific publications, has edited six books and is actively engaged in European-level research. She leads a 14-strong team working on phonon engineering.

Research Interests
|
|
|
Our group carries out research at the cross roads between nanotechnology and dispersion relation engineering. Our aim is to develop new concepts for multi-state variables based on the engineered interactions between electrons and phonons, photons and phonons and excitons and plasmons, in device-like structures with specific super-periodicity. One particular interest is thermal transport in the nanoscale for the study of heat management in nanoelectronics, the role of phonons in noise and dissipation in nano-scale systems. Our experimental research is anchored in novel nanofabrication methods and their metrology and we used advanced optical spectroscopy and transport methods.
