Rosana Badía Laíño has been an associate professor in the Department of Physical and Analytical Chemistry at the University of Oviedo since December 2008. Previously, she held positions as a contracted doctor professor and temporary associate professor. She earned her bachelor's degree in chemistry, specializing in analytical chemistry, from the University of La Plata (Argentina). Later, she received a scholarship from the Spanish International Cooperation Agency to pursue her doctoral studies in Oviedo, where she completed her Ph.D. thesis in 1997. Since 2012, she has led the Molecular Recognition group (RECOMOL) at the University of Oviedo. Her research is focused on analytical chemistry, particularly in the use of luminescent and chemiluminescent methodologies, as well as in the development of recognition phases such as nanomaterials, molecularly imprinted polymers, and microvesicles for optical sensors. She is the author and co-author of over 65 publications in journals indexed in the Journal Citation Reports. Sixty-seven percent of these publications are in the first quartile, with 11 of them, within the first decile of their respective fields. She has presented more than 80 contributions at international conferences.
