Perfil

Investigadora asociada al Laboratorio de Fisicoquímica

Mi trabajo de investigación está enfocado en el Diseño, Desarrollo y Caracterización de Catalizadores Heterogéneos para tres principales aplicaciones medioambientales:

  • Producción de Hidrógeno renovable mediante el Reformado Catalítico de compuestos provenientes de Biomasa.
  • Valorización de Residuos principalmente neumáticos fuera de uso mediante Pirólisis Catalítica para la producción de Alquilbencenos en el contexto de una economía circular.
  • Uso de Fotocatalizadores Heterogéneos para Reacciones de Oxidación o Reducción más amigables con el medio ambiente.
