I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the BioSystems & Integrative Sciences Institute (BioISI), in Bioactive and Multifunctional Materials laboratory (Lisbon, Portugal). I have gained extensive experience in research and development (R&D) over the last seven years thanks to my bachelor¿s degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Malaga (01/10/2017), a master's degree in Chemical Engineering (22 /03/2019) by the Autonomous University of Madrid and Rey Juan Carlos University and subsequent successful doctoral thesis in Applied Chemistry by the Autonomous University of Madrid and the Institute of Catalysis and Petroleochemistry of the CSIC, for which I received the highest qualification ¿Summa Cum Laude¿(01/25/2022). I disseminated and transferred my knowledge through 24+ peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and 2 (inter)national patents. I am also mentoring students in different levels. In my professional career, as a team member, I have been actively involved in competitive international and national R&D projects, and with industrial collaboration (e.g., SAMSUNG Electronic, DECAMED). Recently, I have been awarded with Talent and Technology Award 2023, I have obtained one of the BioISI 2024 projects as PI and another as team member and granted of the HORIZON-MSCA Postdoctoral fellowship 2023. All of these R&D activities and achievements were related to the fields of nanomaterials, environmental remediation and health sciences. Since 2023, I work in the following research topics: - Functional agents¿ development (e.g., nano-catalysts, bioactive natural/synthetic compounds). - Surface functionalisation methodologies and immobilisation in materials. - Design of (multi)functional agents against waterborne biofouling and subsequent effects, such as MIC, mainly applied in the marine and water utility management sectors. I am the PI of one of BioISI project 2024, leader of YR&I Recruitment on EUROMIC Cost Action (CA20130), a member of scientific committee in TwinPrebioEnz international conference for Young researchers 2023, member of Young EFC (European Federation of Corrosion) and organizer member of MIC-STAND Conference in Lisbon 2024.
