Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolXavier Roca is a nanobiotechnology scientist and FRM postdoctoral fellow blending nine years of hands-on research in enzyme- and catalyst-driven micro/nanomotors with a strong practice in active matter and soft-living systems. Based between Barcelona and Paris, he develops and characterizes micromotor-driven interactions with cytoskeletal active nematics, combining advanced micro/nanofabrication, fluorescence/confocal microscopy, and quantitative trajectory analysis. His record includes high-impact publications (Nature Communications, ACS Nano, Acc. Chem. Res.), invited talks across Europe, and leadership in multidisciplinary art–science collaborations where he translates microscopy into live visuals and performance. Equally comfortable in the lab and on stage, he pairs rigorous experimental design with creative storytelling, film and screenwriting training, and festival-curated visual work. This uncommon mix gives him a practical talent for communicating complex biophysics to diverse audiences while driving application-oriented micromotor innovations.
