Dr. Maria Ventura is a Researcher at the Rey Juan Carlos University. After an extensive internationalization of her career, she was a postdoctoral fellow (Marie Curie) at the same university. She holds a Ph.D. in Organometallic Chemistry at the University of Alcala (2012). She has done some postdoctoral stays at the University of Hokkaido (Sapporo, Japan) under the supervision of Prof. Tamotsu Takahashi, and at the Interuniversity Consortium Chemical Reactivity and Catalysis, CIRCC (Bari, Italy), under the supervision of Prof. Michele Aresta. She then moved to ITQ working with a contract promoted by Unesco performing research into waste valorization (phosphogypsum). She is a member of the Spanish Society of Catalysis (SECAT) and the Spanish Society of Organometallic Chemistry (GECO) and is a reviewer for many SCI-indexed scientific journals. To date, she has participated in 20 research projects, being the PI of two of them, all of which were won through European or national public calls. She was the co-director of four master's and six bachelor's theses. She is a co-author of 30 SCI-indexed scientific journals, 28 of them in Q1. She has four patents, three Spanish and one Italian. She has participated in 28 congresses, most of them international, where she has given oral and/or poster presentations. In 2017, she received the Young Researcher Award from the Unesco-IUPAC-Phosagro partnership for her research in the field of green chemistry—the Green Chemistry for Life program.
