Women and science

Scientific Research, Tecnological Develpoment and Science Dissemination in our Society

Our women develop large scientific and technical research projects in ceramic and vitreous materials to meet the Sustainable Development Goals in health, energy and the environment

RESEARCHERS

Aitana E. Tamayo

PhD in Chemical Sciences from the Complutense University of Madrid. She has made stays at the Universities of Colorado (USA) and Darmstadt (Germany) and stays at the UCM (Madrid). She has been hired through JAE Doc and COMFUTURO (CSIC) calls.
She develops his research in materials based on silicon oxycarbides for applications in health science (drug release through patches or electrically), energy (solid electrolytes and supercapacitors, concentrated solar receivers, wind turbine blades) and environment (ecological fertilizers and waste recovery for circular economy). She has participated in different projects with Spanish industries and she has published numerous articles in scientific journals and national and international congresses.

Berta Pérez Román

Materials Engineer from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and double International Master in Materials Engineering. She has made stays at the University of Tampere (Finland).
She has been awarded as a Graduate with Distinction in Materials for Energy Applications. He is currently carrying out her doctoral thesis through an Industrial Doctorate project of the Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) in collaboration with the company Sifaxtd S.L., for obtaining graphene materials doped with nitrogen from the pyrolysis of preceramic polymers and organic dendrimers of 1, 2 and 3 generations, to be used for the development of supercapacitors. She has also worked and collaborates in projects of new ceramic materials for personal protection in ballistic applications based on nitrides, carbides and ceramic carbonitrides.

Mª Teresa Colomer

Tenure Scientist at Ceramic and Glass Institute from 2002. Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Autonomus University of Madrid (Spain). She has made stays at the University of Madison-WI (USA) and Imperial College-London (UK), among other foreign centers. She develops her research in multifunctional materials with photoluminescent, photocatalytic and/or magnetic properties, as well as in “Core-Shell” materials based on up-conversion bifunctional fluorides. She also carry out research on materials such as electrode for electrochemical supercapacitors. She has directed and participated in different National and International research projects and in XAFS lines. She has published more than 100 articles in scientific journals and she has participated in National and International congresses.

Mª Alejandra Mazo

PhD in Chemical Sciences from the Autonomous University of Madrid. He develops his research in materials based on silicon oxycarbides for sustainable energy applications, whether those dense materials are mainly for energy generation (solar systems of concentration at medium and high temperatures) or those materials with hierarchical porosity can be used for energy storage (electrochemical supercapacitors). She is responsible for Raman Spectroscopy in the Department. She is also co-director of a Ph.D. thesis. She has carried out research projects of National calls or with different Spanish industries and she has published numerous articles in scientific journals and participated in National and International congresses.

RESEARCH ASSISTANTS

Paloma Carrero

She has worked for several years at the Cajal Institute of the CSIC and now in our department. She carries out research support works such as chemical reactions in liquid medium, functionalization, grinding and sieving, titration, atomization, polishing, etc. She is also responsible for the experimental techniques such as Infrared and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopies, He-pycnometry and differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis. She also performs melting and casting of glass as well as the preparation of fiber and particle reinforced composite materials, and the dispersion of particles by atomization or treatments in furnaces and climatic chambers.

Mónica González

She carries out work to support the research carried out in the Department and is also responsible for the experimental techniques of Nitrogen Adsorption, Elemental Analysis of Carbon, Sulfur, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Hydrogen. She also handles the techniques of Raman, Infrared and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, gloss and colorimetry, differential and thermogravimetric thermal analysis. She also carries out chemical reactions in liquid medium, melting and casting of glass and enamels, preparation of composite materials reinforced with fibers and particles, dispersion of particles by atomization and treatments in furnaces and climatic chambers.
