Biography

María completed her Physics MSc in Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) (2009). She completed her postgraduate studies at the same university, with the master “Applied Physics: Nanomaterials”. She also got her PhD in 2014 at the UCM, entitled “Synthesis, physical properties and doping of Bi2O3 and MoO3 micro and nanostructures”. Her research during her PhD was focused on the growth of semiconductor nanostructures grown by a vapor – solid process. The characterization of the structures was performed by Electron Microscopy – based techniques, as well as Raman Spectroscopy. During her PhD she also performed teaching tasks. From 2015 to the end of 2017 she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the European Synchrotron, at the Spanish beamline, SpLine. During her postdoctoral stay she was responsible for the experiments performed in the experimental station devoted to Grazing Incidence X – Ray Diffraction. Her research was focused to the growth and structural characterization of oxide thin film grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition. Since November 2017 she is a research associate at IMDEA Materials Institute, joining Multifunctional Nanocomposite group. She is working on the synthesis of CNTs fibers, grown on a CVD synthesis reactor. ORCID iD iconorcid.org/0000-0002-6108-2543
