Ernesto Jimenez-Villar received his Ph.D. from the University of Vigo in 2003. After a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Lisbon, he began his academic career at the Institute of Materials Science of Valencia (2005). His current interests include the development of the strong scattering media for light confinement and the study of light–matter interaction in engineered disorder in colloidal photonic assemblies that can yield anomalous and impactful optical phenomena such as unidirectional invisibility, enhanced light–matter interaction, and single-mode lasing.
