Ana M. Sanchez

Ana M. Sanchez is a Spanish microscopist who is a professor at the University of Warwick. She works on the development of electron microscopy for the advanced characterisation of materials.

Early life and education Sanchez studied chemical sciences at the University of Granada. Sanchez studied gallium nitride heteroepitaxial systems for her doctoral research at the University of Cádiz. She has studied the interface between ferro-electric and ferro-magnetic materials, showing that there was a special texture in ferroelectrics that matches the spin crystal phase of ferromagnets. She showed that at the nanoscale ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials had almost identical properties.
