<b>Resumen de la charla:</b> Advances in the science of
superconductivity have numerous challenges to improve old and create
new technologies able to fulfil some of the big challenges of the
XXI century; ranging from power applications (storage and transport
of clean, sustainable and reliable energy) to novel electronic
devices (information technologies and data storage systems). The
individual and collective behaviour of vortices (quantum nano-tubes
of magnetic flux) in a superconductor represents one of the most
relevant physical aspects of these materials and it is of enormous
practical significance for applications. This has sustained the
study of different methods for engineering the vortex pinning
landscape in order to infer in vortex dynamics of superconductors. <br>
In this talk, I will discuss the opportunities of high temperature
superconducting cuprates for applications in novel multifunctional
electronic devices. In particular, I will present different
strategies to design nanostructured high temperature YBa2Cu3O7-x
superconducting films, with controllable artificial pinning centres,
able to manipulate vortex motion for fluxtronic device applications.
In addition, I will present novel functionalities associated to
field effect tuning of the metal-insulating transition and
spin-texture manipulation in superconducting hybrids with the vision
of energy-efficient electronics. <br>

<b>Resumen CV: </b>Dr. Anna Palau is currently a Tenured Scientific
at the Institute of Materials Science, ICMAB-CSIC, Barcelona, Spain.
She received a B.S in Physics (1999), B.S in Materials Science
(2000), Ph.D in Materials Science (2005) at Barcelona and performed
a postdoctoral stay (2005-2007) at University of Cambridge (U.K).
Her scientific interest includes functional properties of oxides
with focus on superconducting and magnetic materials. Her main
current research activity is devoted to study the outstanding
physical properties of functional oxides and vortex matter physics,
with strong effort in the opportunities that nanotechnology can
bring to high temperature superconductors. She has co-authored more
than 80 peer-reviewed scientific papers, 3 Book chapters and holds 3
licensed patents. She has delivered more than 30 Invited Talks in
international Workshops and Conferences and participated in more
than 25 national and international projects. She is Master Lecturer
on Advanced Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at UAB (Barcelona). <br>
