Stephan Roche

Stephan S. Roche is a theoretician studying quantum transport theory in condensed matter, spin transport physics and devices simulation. Roche is a ICREA Research Professor since 2009,[1] and the head of "Theoretical & computational Nanoscience Group" at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.[2]

Roche works in the fields of theoretical and computational nanoscience, with a strong expertise of quantum transport physics in Dirac materials (graphene & topological insulators) and 2D materials-based van der Waals heterostructures.[3] He made contributions unveiling nontrivial charge, thermal and spin transport phenomena in complex and disordered condensed matter (giant spin transport anisotropy and spin Hall effect by proximity effects, non-equilibrium laser-induced energy gaps in graphene, Anderson localization, etc).[4] He also works on the development of linear scaling quantum transport approaches, which enables simulations of billion atoms-scale disordered models (www.lsquant.org), methods which are now connected with Artificial Intelligence methods.
