[2006-2010] PhD degree in Corrosion and Protection by The University of Manchester (UK) and postdoc. The research activity focused on the electrochemical reactivity, corrosion and protection of aluminium and magnesium alloys. [2010-2017] Postdoc in the Nanotechnology on Surfaces Research Group at the Institute of Material Sciences of Seville. I initiated a new research line focused on the development of novel porous thin films by magnetron sputtering at oblique angles for advanced electrochemical applications: Electrochromism and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) mainly. Also led Seville’s participation in an EU Project for tailoring SOFCs, working closely with Professor Richard M. Lambert, University of Cambridge. [2019] Granted by the Univ. of Cordoba to act as principal investigator on a research project to develop novel low-cost sodium transition-metal layered oxide materials for Na-ion batteries, with Prof. José L. Tirado. Also, part of the research team on a National project dealing with safer Na-ion, Mg-ion and hybrid batteries. [2020 - today] I joined the Engineering and Materials Science Dept at the Univ of Seville, where I research on the development for materials applied for advanced electrochemical applications and the corrosion and protection of titanium for biomedical applications. Also granted by the Junta de Andalucía and FEDER as the Principal Investigator of a project dealing with materials for advanced SOFCs.
