Rebeca Ribeiro-Palau, CNRS researcher at the Department of Nanoelectronics of C2N (PHYNANO team), is laureate of an ERC Starting Grants 2019 for her project Twistronics (Probing topological valley currents by layer alignment in van der Waals heterostructures).

Rebeca is an experimental condensed matter physicist. She obtained her PhD at the Universite Paul Sabatier in Toulouse. She did a postdoc at the French National Metrology lab (LNE) and then at Columbia University. In November 2017, she got tenured CNRS researcher at C2N to investigate the generation and control of different topological orders in van der Waals heterostructures.
