Samuel Delgado

Samuel Aldana is a Postdoctoral researcher in the Materials Modeling for Devices group at Tyndall.

Samuel specialises in Computational Physics and Material Science, currently focusing on material deposition for semiconductors and memristor devices through kinetic Monte Carlo simulations.

He holds a Master’s degree in Nanotechnology and a Ph.D. in Information Technology. His research experience includes positions at leading universities in Germany (Leuphana University Lüneburg), Spain (University of Granada) and Ireland (Trinity College Dublin). Dr. Aldana has developed kinetic Monte Carlo physical simulators for Valence Change Memories, Thermochemical Memories, Conductive Bridge Memories, 2D planar memristors, Transition Metal Dichalcogenides crystal growth and material deposition for interconnects, resulting in several publications. His simulators provide detailed insights into the resistive switching kinetics, variability, thermal degradation phenomena, and optimization routes for these devices and materials. His research interests also include the application of new materials and memristors in storage memories, interconnect technologies, and neuromorphic devices.

Samuel is a board member of the Tyndall Early Career Researchers’ Network (TEC-Net), supporting early career researchers through collaboration, networking, training and social opportunities. While at Trinity College Dublin, he served as a Sustainability Ambassador, collaborating with My Green Lab and the School of Physics to implement sustainable laboratory practices, achieving the highest level of certification recognised by the United Nations Race to Zero Campaign. At University of Granada, he represented PhD student in the Information and Communication Technologies programme as a member of the Student Council. Concurrently, he was a member of the work council, advocating for improved working conditions for doctoral researchers.
