*Resumen de la charla:*  In this seminar I will give a tutorial on 2D 
semiconducting materials and I will motivate their interest in 
optoelectronic and straintronic applications. The first half of the talk 
will be devoted to provide a general background about 2D materials: why 
to study them, how to fabricate them, how to handle them, how to 
fabricate devices out of them, etc. In the last part of the talk I will 
explain how 2D semiconductors are very appealing because of their 
optoelectronic properties and how the combination between these 
optoelectronic properties and their unique mechanical properties makes 
them extremely interesting for the emerging field of straintronics. 
Strain engineering is an interesting strategy to tune a material’s 
electronic properties by subjecting its lattice to a mechanical 
deformation. Conventional straining approaches, used for 3D materials 
are typically limited to strains lower than 2% in most cases due to the 
low maximum strains sustained by brittle bulk semiconducting materials. 
2D materials can be literally stretched, folded, bent or even pierced. 
This outstanding stretchability (and the possibility of using 
dynamically varying strain) of 2D materials promises to revolutionize 
the field of strain engineering and could lead to "straintronic" devices 
– devices with electronic and optical properties that are engineered 
through the introduction of mechanical deformations.

*Resumen CV: *Dr. Andres Castellanos-Gomez is a Tenured Scientist in the 
Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). He explores novel 2D materials 
and studies their mechanical, electrical and optical properties with 
special interest on the application of these materials in nanomechanical 
and optoelectronic devices. He was awarded an ERC Starting Grant in 2017 
and has been included in the Highly Cited Researchers 2018 list of 
Clarivate/WOS and selected as one of the Top Ten Spanish Talents of 2017 
by the MIT Technology Reviews. He has been also recognized with the 
Young Researcher Award (experimental physics) of the Royal Physical 
Society of Spain (2016).*
