In 2002 I graduated in Chemistry at the University of Murcia (Spain). In 2006 I finished my PhD in Polymer Science under the supervision of José García de la Torre and José Ginés Hernández Cifre at the same University. During this period, I focused on the study of polymers in dilute solution by means of computer simulation techniques. The year after, I started a postdoctoral position at the University of Oslo (Norway) in the Polymer Group leadered by Bo Nyström in 2007. In this project we studied the interaction of different kind of smart materials with gold nanoparticles. I returned to the University of Murcia with a reasearch position in 2010 and then we started a new research line based on nanoparticles. At the end of 2011 I started a position as lecturer at the department at Materials and Manufacturing Engineering of the Technical University of Cartagena (Spain) and I settle in the group of Materials Science ant Metalurgical Engineering leaded by María Dolores Bermúdez.
My research interests are nanomaterials and I am currently focused in the improvement of tribological porperties of ionic liquids by using carbon nanophase materials as graphene and nanodiamonds. I am an expert in Rheology and DLS size determination but I also use other techniques for general characterization of materials such as RAMAN spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, TGA, etc.
I also cooperate with the Technological Center of Plastic in Murcia developing new materials with greenhouse applications and with Anna-Lena Kjoniksen leader of the group of Materials Technology in Ostfold (Norway) adding phase change materials to building materials to improve their thermal performance.
