      EDUCATION :

  • (2009) Final degree proyect in Chemistry, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain (Top mark).
  • (2009) Graduate in Chemistry. Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain
  • (2010)Interuniversity Master in organic Chemistry, Complutense University of Madrid and Autonoma University of Madrid.
  • (Expected to be finished in 2015) Ph.D. in chemistry. Complutense University of Madrid, Spain

      RESEARCH: My actual research is concerned with the design and synthesis of porous carbon (Resorcinol-Formaldehyde and activated carbon) for supercapacitors, according with the large demand of electrical energy storage devices that can be fully charged or discharged quickly.

In addition I am involved as much the textural characterization as the electrochemical performance of these materials.
