Dr. Ana M. Diez-Pascual is “Catedrático de Universidad” at the University of Alcalá (Madrid, Spain) since 2024. From 2014 to 2020, she was a "Ramón y Cajal" researcher and from 2020 to 2024, Profesor Titular de Universidad" at the same University. She graduated in Chemistry in 2001 (awarded Extraordinary Prize) at the Complutense University (Madrid, Spain), where she carried out her Ph.D. (2002–2005) on dynamic and equilibrium properties of fluid interfaces under the supervision of Prof. Rubio. In 2005, she worked at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (Germany) with Prof. Miller on the rheological characterization of water-soluble polymers. During 2006–2008, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Physical Chemistry Institute of the RWTH-Aachen University (Germany), where she worked on the layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolyte multilayers onto thermoresponsive microgels. Then, she moved to the Institute of Polymer Science and Technology (Madrid, Spain) and participated in a Canada–Spain joint project to develop carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced epoxy and polyetheretherketone composites for transport applications. She was awarded the TR35 2012 prize by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for her innovative work in the field of nanotechnology. In 2021, she was selected as a member of the Spanish Young Academy.
