Biography

I. Oyarzabal graduated with a degree in chemistry from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 2011. She obtained her Ph.D. degree in 2015 at UPV/EHU with the designation of International doctor and received the extraordinary PhD award given by UPV/EHU. In 2016, she completed a nine- month period of post-doctoral studies at UPV/EHU. From 2017 to January 2021, she has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Molecular Materials & Magnetism research group led by Dr. Rodolphe Clérac, at Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal (CRPP, CNRS - University of Bordeaux), first due to a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (2017-2019) and after due to a postdoctoral grant from the Basque Government. Since January 2021, she is working at BCMaterials - Basque Center for Materials, Applications and Nanostructures, where she has started an independent research career thanks to an Ikerbasque Research Fellowship. Her most relevant contribution to date is the discovery of metal-organic magnets with large coercivity and ordering temperatures up to 242°C, which have set new records for the performance of molecule-based magnetic materials (Science 2020).
