Valery Ortiz Jimenez (Fed)

Valery Ortiz Jiménez is an experimental physicist in the Nanoscale Device Characterization Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). She received her B.S. in Physics from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and her Ph.D. in Applied Physics from the University of South Florida. Her doctoral research focused on studying the magneto-optical properties of magnetically doped 2D semiconductors. She joined NIST as an NRC Postdoctoral Research Associate in 2022, working with Curt A. Richter. At NIST she focuses on the characterization of magnetic topological insulators and the fabrication of graphene based 2D heterostructures to study novel quantum phenomena for electrical standards applications.
