Dr. Ivan Latella is Lecturer in the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Barcelona since 2022. He obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of Barcelona in 2016 and his PhD thesis received the Extraordinary Doctoral Thesis Award. He was postdoctoral researcher at Laboratoire Charles Fabry, Institut d'Optique (France) in 2016-2017 and during 2022. He also was postdoctoral fellow at Université de Sherbrooke (Canada) in 2017-2019. In 2019 he joined the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Barcelona as a postdoc, and in 2020 he was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie individual fellowship to be carried out in the same department. His research mainly focuses on thermal photonics, employing fluctuational electrodynamics to describe radiative interactions in many-body systems. In this field, his interests cover thermotronics, energy conversion and thermophotonic effects in non-Hermitian systems. His research also focuses on thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of nonadditive systems, including small systems and systems with long-range interactions. Since 2014 he has been a member of the Organizing Committee of the Sitges Conference on Statistical Mechanics- info
