Background

I own a Chemist degree and a Master degree in Chemical Sciences and Technologies with specialization in Electron Microscopy and Nanomaterials. Recently, I have finished my PhD thesis entitled "New ecosustainable building materials by their superhydrophobic behaviour".


During the last five years, I have worked at the Nanomaterials researcher group from the University of Cádiz (headed by Prof. Maria J. Mosquera), which designs products for the protection and restoration of building materials. Throughout these five years, I have collaborated with two national projects from the Spanish government and an European project. Moreover, I have participated in research projects with the companies COSENTINO and NATURAL STONE TINO, with the aim of enhancing the properties of their materials.


I also have experience in the field of teaching and dissemination, since during my PhD period I gave classes as well as supervised two bachelor degree projects and two master degree projects. In addition, I have presented the results of my research in national and international conferences

  1. Technical supporter for research University of Cádiz, Puerto Real (Cádiz)

    01/2018 - 07/2019


    Technical support to the Nanomaterials researcher group from the University of Cádiz. Specifically, the following tasks have been carried out:


    • Development of superhydrophobic products, by means of sol-gel route, for application on building materials. This task has ? performed into two national project from the Spanish government.
    • Colaboration NATURAL STONE TINO company for enhancing the stain-resistance and mechanical properties of its marbles.
    • Development of products synthesized by sol-gel route for application on concrete for repairing 20th century buildings. This task has been developed into an European project from the 2020 Horizon.

  2. Researcher University of Cádiz, Puerto Real (Cádiz)

    04/2016 - 06/2017

    Colaboration with the R&D department of COSENTINO company for enhancing the cleaning performance of the SILESTONE marbles. Specifically, hydrophobic products to improve the stain resistance of these surfaces have been developed.

  3. Researcher University of Cádiz, Puerto Real (Cádiz)

    10/2014 - 03/2016

    Development of consolidant, superhydrophobic and photocatalytic products to protect and repair building materials.

    This work was carried out into a national project from the Spanish government.
