Pablo Alvarez-Alonso
He obtained his PhD in Materials Science at the University of Oviedo in 2012, studying the interaction between crystalline structure and magnetic properties through magnetocaloric and magnetovolume effects. In his postdoctoral stay at the University of the Basque Country, he investigated the caloric properties of Shape Memory Alloys and the modeling of magnetic thin films. In 2016 he got a teaching position at the University of Oviedo. Currently, he holds a professor position in the Department of Physics.
He has completed pre-doctoral stays at ILL (France), IPICYT (Mexico), and UPJS (Slovakia), and as a visiting professor at IPICYT (3 months). He is the co-author of 50 articles published in Q1 journals and one book chapter contribution. He has an h index = 21. He has participated in 6 national and 4 regional research projects. He has been the principal investigator of a project with Triditive, a company in the additive manufacturing sector. He has given 2 invited talks and 10 oral talks at international conferences. He has attended ten training courses in Spain and five abroad related to research. He has participated in 10 experiments in large facilities (ILL, ESRF and ALBA).
He teaches classes to master and graduate students in both Spanish and English (over 230 hours/year). He has participated in 3 teaching innovation projects as manager, published two articles and presented an oral communication on these experiences. He currently directs a project as a manager funded by the University of Oviedo. He has directed 9 final project works (3 TFM and 6 TFG). He currently supervises three PhD students.
He has been president of the Physics Olympiad committee for two years, has given 4 seminars on his research, and has published a book chapter and two translations of popular science books.
He is a reviewer for more than 30 journals and arbitrator of projects from the Czech Republic, Argentina and Vietnam and from IUTA (Asturias).
His main current research interests are caloric effects on shape memory alloys and intermetallic compounds in bulk, powder, ribbon, and thin film form. He also has other research interests: magnetic properties of intermetallic alloys, magnetic anisotropy in nanostructured thin films, magnetoimpedance effect in amorphous ribbons and wires, and dynamic properties of microwires.

We will present our recent studies of both the magnetocaloric effect and the influence of magnetic field on MT in metamagnetic Ni-Mn-In alloys doped by Cu and Cr. This doping mode allows a fine tuning of both the MT temperature around the room temperature (278-315 K) and magnetization drop at MT. The adiabatic MCE measurements have been performed using in-house made set-up [3]. An application of 1.9 T magnetic field results in a maximum inverse adiabatic temperature change of ~ -2 K caused by magnetic field-induced MT. Besides, the austenite phase undergoes a ferro-to-paramagnetic transition to which a direct adiabatic temperature change of almost the same amplitude as for inverse effect is associated. Furthermore, MT moves to lower temperatures (around 40 K for Cu-doped alloy) in magnetic fields up to 10 T accompanied by a decrease of the transformation entropy change.
