PhD in Organic Chemistry from the University of the Basque Country in 2011. During her PhD, she focused on the research of the asymmetric synthesis of organic molecules by the use of both chiral auxiliaries and organocatalysts. During this period, she did a three–months stay at the University of Oxford working in the developing of new asymmetric synthetic routes. After completing her PhD, she joined GRAPHENEA in September 2011 as Research Scientist.
She obtained her PhD in Polymer nanocomposites from Manchester Metropolitan University (UK) in 2005. After completing her PhD, she joined AIMPLAS (Plastic Research Institute, Spain) where she has worked as a senior researcher in the field of nanomaterials, polymer nanocomposites and polymer functionalization for more than 10 years. In November 2015 she joined GRAPHENEA as a Scientific Researcher where she is developing new graphene-related materials. She has wide experience as a Project manager in national and EU projects.
She currently supervises ten R&D scientists. During her time in GRAPHENEA (April 2010 – present) she has so far filed for twelve patents and obtained publications in Nature and Science. Previously, she worked in Ferring Pharmaceuticals (Scotland) for six years in the research and development of new controlled drug delivery systems. Her contribution to controlled therapeutics led to the granting of three patents in novel biodegradable and biostable polymers for controlling drug delivery. She obtained her PhD from the University of Strathclyde, UK and has worked as a postdoctoral research scientist in two European projects.
