Leticia Tarruell

Leticia Tarruell is a researcher at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO)She studied physics in Madrid and Paris, and she obtained her PhD in 2008, with a thesis on fermionic superfluidity at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. As a postdoc, she studied Fermi gases in optical lattices at ETH Zurich. After working as researcher CNRS at Institut d’Optique in Bordeaux, she joined ICFO as Group Leader in 2013, and became a professor at the ICREA in 2022. The Ultracold Quantum Gases group she established at ICFO performs quantum simulation experiments with mixtures of potassium Bose-Einstein condensates, ultracold strontium gases in optical lattices, and arrays of Rydberg atoms. She was awarded with the Young Investigator Prize by the Spanish Royal Physics Society in 2015. In 2016, she received a Ramón y Cajal fellowship, and a consolidator grant from the European Research Council in 2020.
