Roser Maria Valentí

Maria Roser Valentí is a Spanish-Catalonian professor of theoretical condensed matter physics at Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main.

Biography
In 1987 Valentí graduated from the University of Barcelona with honors, in 1989 she then finished also finished her doctoral thesis in theoretical condensed matter physics with distinction at the University of Barcelona After her dissertation she was named Fulbright-Fellow allowing her to study at the University of Florida.

Scientific interests
Within theoretical condensed matter physics Valentí has contributed to understanding of superconductivity, frustrated magnetism, and topological isolators. In her group exact diagonalization, single particle Green's Functions and machine learning techniques are employed. During the Covid-19 Pandemic Valentí also published research assessing the efficiency of certain mitigation strategies like social distancing. She is a member of several scientific councils.
