Scholar-generated biography
Sergio C. de la Barrera is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, specializing in superconductivity, correlated electrons, and topological materials. His research explores unconventional phenomena in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides, moiré heterostructures, and graphene-based van der Waals heterostructures. He investigates superconductivity induced by spin-orbit coupling, ferroelectricity in semimetals, and quantum interference effects in hybrid superconducting systems. His work also addresses electronic transport in complex materials and the formation of topological bands in trilayer graphene. De la Barrera's research bridges theoretical and experimental approaches to understand strongly correlated electron systems and their potential applications in quantum technologies.
