Nuestra investigación
Metal–insulator transitions, epitaxy, and transport in vanadium oxide systems for electronic and neuromorphic devices.
Educación
Our educational activities engage undergraduate students in research and hands-on training in experimental physics. Students develop practical skills through work in the Electronics Lab and participation in experimental design.
We also lead outreach activities for K–12 students and teachers to support STEM education and teacher training.
Armando Rúa de la Asunción
Quantum Materials and Oxide Electronics
Armando Rúa de la Asunción is a Professor of Physics at the University of Puerto Rico–Mayagüez. His research focuses on thin films of correlated oxides, particularly vanadium systems, to study metal–insulator transitions and electronic transport, including Magnéli phases as model systems between VO₂ and V₂O₃.
His work integrates synthesis, crystallographic structure, and transport measurements to understand emergent electronic behavior and develop device concepts for neuromorphic computing. He is a 2023 Moore Foundation Experimental Physics Investigator.
