RESEARCH INTERESTS
Interdisciplinary materials science & technology, addressing diverse scientific and societal challenges with polymers, nanomaterials and advanced technologies.
- Polymer nancomposites
- Sustainable materials for pollutant adsorption and energy applications
- Multifunctional materials for plastics recyclability
- 2D-Nanomaterials and on-surface synthesis
- Laboratory astrochemistry
- Advanced spectroscopic characterisation
ABOUT ME
My aim is to develop and provide tools and enabling technologies that allow us to build bridges between different disciplines, applying a multidisciplinary view of science in order to combine approches and strategies that can give us building blocks for a better future.
Currently, I am responsible for the Polymer Physics Group (FISPOL), which maintains 3 fundamental pillars: Polymer nanocomposites, sustainable porous materials and advanced characterization. We develop diverse application-driven materials in areas such as smart textiles, pollution remediation, energy storage and plastics recycling.
I coordinated the MIRAS Project for the construction of a multipurpose Infrared Microspectroscopy Beamline at ALBA Synchrotron, which was inaugurated in 2016.
I am also Associate Scientist in the Interdisciplinary Studies on Nanoscopic Systems Group (ESISNA) of the ICMM where we are developing spectroscopic approaches under UHV conditions for on-surface chemistry and laboratory astrophysics, and nanoparticle-based bottom-up strategies for new biosensors.
I participate in the following CSIC Interdisciplinary Technology Platform (PTI+)
