Elsa B Lopes

Born 18 April 1962 Portugal Education: Graduation in Physics, Faculty of Sciences-UL, 1986 Senior Research Assistant degree ICEN, 1991 Ph. D. in Physics, Faculty of Sciences-University of Lisbon, 1998 Positions: Research Grant Holder, LNETI, 1986-1987 Research Assistant, LNETI, 1987-1991 Senior Research Assistant, LNETI (ITN since 1993), 1991-1998 Researcher, ITN, 1998-date (IST/CTN since 2012) Elsa Branco Lopes is involved in the study of materials with interesting transport properties and their correlation to structural data and magnetic properties. The transport properties studied are the electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power, thermal conductivity and magnetoresistance. The type of solids studied include low dimensional organic conductors, new high ZT thermoelectric materials and d and f intermetallic compounds with unconventional transport properties.
