Academic positions held

I am currently a member of the academic staff at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, UNED, in the Department of Physical Chemistry Sciences and Techniques, within the area of Physical Chemistry.

Research activity

My research lines focus on Physical Chemistry applied to the development and characterisation of nanomaterials, biosensors and molecular detection systems, with particular emphasis on spectroscopic techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques. I have participated in national and international research projects related to the development of nanotechnological sensors for the detection of contaminants in air, water and food, as well as in molecular characterisation studies using Raman spectroscopy.

Professional experience

I am currently a member of the academic staff at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), in the Department of Physical Chemistry Sciences and Techniques, where I carry out teaching and research activities in the area of Physical Chemistry.

Previously, I have held scientific and technological leadership roles in R&D within technology companies, including the management of applied research projects and the coordination of experimental developments focused on sensors, functional materials and analytical applications. I have also collaborated as a researcher in national and international projects involving universities, research centres and companies.
