Pablo Cayado (ORCID: 0000-0003-3703-6122) is a Lecturer at University of Oviedo, Spain, since January 2025. Previously, he was a Research Associate at the Department of Quantum Matter Physics (DQMP) at the University of Geneva in Switzerland for 4 years, and before that, he worked for another 4 years at the Institute of Technical Physics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. He studied physics at the University of Oviedo and graduated in 2011. Afterwards, he moved to the Material Science Institute of Barcelona (ICMAB), where he completed his master’s degree in Nanotechnology and Materials Science (2012) and PhD in Materials Science (2016), working on the preparation and characterization of REBCO nanocomposite films by chemical solution deposition and the oxygen diffusion in these films. His current research activities focus on the electrical and mechanical properties of coated conductors for the development of REBCO superconducting joints. He is also working on using chemical solution deposition for REBCO films with new pinning scenarios (mixing of different REBCO compounds and new nanoparticles) and on the optimization of the oxygenation process in such films.
