Biography

Degree and PhD in Chemical Sciences from the University of Castilla-La Mancha, made his doctoral thesis in the Department of Physical Chemistry of the same University working on the kinetic study of rapid reactions in aqueous phase. Since October 2003 is part of the Teaching and Research Staff of the University of Castilla-La Mancha in the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Biochemistry of Toledo, In addition to the research group on Atmospheric Chemistry of the Department of Physical Chemistry of the UCLM. She has participated in numerous Both national and regional calls for research Kinetic and reaction products of environmental interest in the gas phase to different Temperatures and atmospheric pressure. From March 2005 to February 2006, she Postdoctoral post at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany. During This period studied the photolytic degradation of compounds of atmospheric interest Pulsed laser photolysis combined with UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. As a result of these investigations, Papers published in scientific journals of recognized prestige in the field of Physical Chemistry and Atmospheric Chemistry; And several contributions to congresses of character National and international.

Research Intrest

Reactivity of new chemical materials for industrial use, generally substitutes for Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and to identify the different reaction paths and formation of Products to be able to characterize and quantify the environmental effects of their Emissions
