Pablo Loza-Alvarez

Dr. Pablo Loza-Alvarez received his PhD in Laser Physics from the University of St Andrews, Scotland in 2000. He then performed 2 postdoctoral stays, one in St Andrews and one at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya. Currently he is a Group Leader at ICFO, where he is also responsible for the “Super Resolution Light Microscopy and Nanoscopy” lab. Dr. Loza-Alvarez has now a strong experience in microscopy and, by introducing novel photonics tools, has developed a number of novel imaging techniques. These have been used for a wide variety of applications ranging from the imaging of large model organisms (mesoscopic level) to the visualization of subcellular components (super resolution). He has directed 6 PhD students, co-authored over 130 publications in international journals and conferences (h=20, Google Scholar), leaded 2 European projects and 3 national projects and participated in several other EU projects and in main networks of excellence or scientific clusters (LaserLab Europe, Photonics4Life, ActPhast) and has written 6 patents.
