About me
I obtained my Chemical Engineer 5-years degree in 2009 at the University of Murcia (Spain), a Master degree in Occupational Health and Safety (specialising in Safety, Health and Ergonomics) in 2010 at Burea Veritas (Spain), a Master degree in Electrochemistry in 2011 at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (Spain) and a PhD in Electrochemistry in 2017 at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain)
I have a wide experience in research institutions along Spain (Polytechnic University of Cartagena, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Microelectronics Institute of Barcelona -IMB-CNM, CSIC-) and Europe (Institut für Fertigungstechnologie keramischer Bauteile, IFKB, Stuttgart, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm University, Stockholm), including eigh years as a postdoc (in this period I have gained 6 competitive grants from Europe, Sweden and Spain).
Through these years, I have gained a strong background in optical and electrochemical transduction, micro-/nano-technologies, biosensing and microfluidics in the framework of twelve national (three as PI) and two European (as PI) R&D projects, and 7 R&D and Innovation contracts with companies in Spain, USA or Germany, with a total budget of €1.1M for my own research.
My research main competencies include:
- Design and production of microfabricated electrochemical transducers
- Biofunctionalization with polymers, hydrogels, silk fibroin or nanomaterials
- (Electro)chemical and optical (bio)sensing
- Simulation, design and microfluidics manufacturing
- Integration technologies combining sensors and microfluidics for fluid management
- Application of the microanalytical systems to the detection of key anlytes in, e.g. the food/beverage industry, environmental control or clinical diagnostic
- Writing, application and management of R&D and innovation projects
- Technological transfer
- Postdoctoral Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project “DVD-readable opto-electrochemical Lab-on-a-Disc as small-factor wearable wireless medical device for obesity management”. A novel cost-effective and portable multiplexed medical device, with unique and unprecedented attributes, for the precise management of chronic disorders.
- Project “In situ environmental monitoring with a paper roll”. The goal of the project is to develop a "paper printed laboratories", by integrating optical and electrochemical sensing onto a paper microfluidics platforms. It will enable to collect chemical and biological data at low cost and to detect pollutants and key environmental parameters at higher frequencies and higher spatial densities, resulting in a robust and cost-effective technology for a better management of the aquatic environment.
I am author of 34 publications, including 24 articles in high impact peer-review international journals and 8 conference papers (22 Q1; 19 first author; 9 corresponding author); 1 licensed patent; and 47 conferences contributions (30 oral, 1 invited).
