Early life and education
editSanchez studied chemical sciences at the University of Granada.[1] Sanchez studied gallium nitride heteroepitaxial systems for her doctoral research at the University of Cádiz.[1] She stayed at the University of Cádiz as an assistant professor for four years, before moving to the French National Centre for Scientific Research as a postdoctoral researcher in 2002. In 2003, she moved to the University of Liverpool, where she worked as a research fellow in materials science.[1]
Research and career
editSanchez works on advanced electron microscopy for condensed matter physics. She joined the University of Warwick in 2009, where she was a Science City Senior Research Fellow. At Warwick, she developed new strategies for semiconductor nanostructures; including functional oxides, 2D materials and van de Waals crystals.[2] She has studied the interface between ferro-electric and ferro-magnetic materials, showing that there was a special texture in ferroelectrics that matches the spin crystal phase of ferromagnets.[3] She showed that at the nanoscale ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials had almost identical properties.[3]
