Bianca K. Muñoz was awarded her PhD in 2007 at the Universitat Rovira I Virgili, Tarragona, Spain, under the supervision of Prof. Carmen Claver and Prof. Aurora Ruiz working on carbonylation reactions. After postdoctoral periods in the University of St Andrews, Scotland, and LCC-CNRS in Toulouse, France, she was working on different industrial projects (Syngenta, Repsol, and Crysforma) at Eurecat and ICIQ. In 2019, she obtained an Assistant Professor position at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, in the Materials Science and Engineering Department (MACIMTE-ESCET). Over the last years, B.K.M. has gained experience in the design, management, and development of research projects; knowledge on intellectual property: protection policies, patentability and infringement, patent and know-how transfer; and outstanding expertise in homogeneous catalysis using organometallic compounds for the synthesis of fine chemicals, polymers, and chiral molecules. She is currently focused on the development of new solid polymer electrolytes and carbon fiber modification for energy storage. She has published 26 peer-reviewed articles, including in Science, and she has participated in more than 18 international and national conferences and scientific meetings.
