Castellanos Lab
2D Materials • Strain Engineering • Conformal Electronics
The Castellanos Lab (led by Andrés Castellanos-Gomez) is part of the 2D Foundry at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC), within the Spanish National Research Council. We investigate and engineer two-dimensional (van der Waals) materials to control charge, light, and mechanics at the nanoscale.
Our research integrates fundamental condensed matter physics with advanced nanofabrication and scalable processing strategies. We focus on strain engineering, conformal and ultra-thin electronics, and the development of optoelectronic devices based on layered materials, bridging discovery-driven science with emerging technologies.

Strain Engineering in 2D Materials
Strain Engineering in 2D Materials
We investigate how mechanical deformation modifies electronic, optical, and correlated phases in van der Waals materials. By coupling mechanics and charge transport, we explore strain-controlled phase transitions, band structure engineering, and adaptive optoelectronic responses.
Conformal and Ultra-Thin Electronics
Conformal and Ultra-Thin Electronics
We integrate layered materials into flexible, ultra-thin and unconventional platforms. Our work enables conformal devices that operate under bending, stretching, and surface adaptation, expanding the limits of traditional rigid microelectronics.
Scalable 2D Materials and Open Fabrication
Scalable 2D Materials and Open Fabrication
We develop low-cost, high-throughput strategies for the fabrication of 2D material devices. From roll-to-roll mechanical exfoliation to maskless photolithography and deterministic transfer, we bridge advanced nanotechnology with accessible and scalable processing.
