Prof. Liliana Arrachea (Physics Department, UBA, Argentina) has made significant contributions to the understanding of quantum transport and topological quantum matter. Her academic journey is marked by a series of influential papers, with highlights such as her 2005 work on the Green-function approach to quantum pumps, which has been cited over 175 times to this date. She has explored the relationship between scattering-matrix and Keldysh formalisms in quantum transport driven by time-periodic fields, and her insights into the exact solution of a Hubbard chain with bond-charge interaction have garnered widespread recognition. Her research delves into the dynamics of energy transfer in ac-driven quantum systems, the thermodynamics of nanoscale engines, and the adiabatic response of quantum thermoelectrics. Her work on triplet superconductivity in quasi-one-dimensional systems and the thermal transport in spin heterostructures highlights her diverse expertise, showing a consistent focus on the interplay between quantum mechanics and thermodynamics in her research.
