PhD in Material Chemistry. Expert in Nanotechnology, DFT calculations and scientific illustration and graphic design

Profile Summary

I am looking forward to work on projects related with scientific research (mainly DFT calculations), consulting, communication or arts (scientific illustration, visual communication or exhibitions). I can work in Spanish, English or French. I am a very creative person with a broad multidisciplinary and international background. I have both experimental and theoretical (mainly DFT calculations) research experience in the areas of 2D nanomaterials (MoS2, graphene, and related materials) and liquid-crystal/aqueous interfaces. Additionally, I love visual arts, and I have been doing painting (including mural paintings), illustration and graphic design for personal purposes during the last 17 years with a self-teaching approach. Combining my art skills with my formal training in science and communication provided to be very useful in the preparation of high quality illustrations for articles, posters and slide presentations. I hold a PhD in Material Chemistry from the University of Nantes (France), a MSc in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology from the University of Barcelona (Spain) and a "Licenciatura" degree (equivalent to BSc+MSc) in Chemistry from the University of Granada (Spain). I developed my PhD (thesis entitled "Theoretical and Experimental studies of structure and functionalization of 2D Nanomaterials") within the framework of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action "Enabling Excellence" (https://eetraining.wordpress.com/), which is a European Training Network (ETN) dedicated to topics related with graphene-based nanostructures. The network provided training to 13 PhD students distributed among 5 academic and 2 industrial partners located across Europe. The ETN provided a structured training programme in technical and scientific topics, as well as science communication and business. The ETN gave me the opportunity to do several research stays at different countries and to do research at a highly international level.
