Amaya studied chemistry in the University of Navarra and a masters degree in Materials Science and Engineering in the UC3M. She has completed her PhD (Nov. 2018) in Materials Science and Engineering at the UC3M designing antibacterial sol-gel coating for prosthetic devices. Her track record includes 1 Spanish patent and 2 publications in peer reviewed journals. She has participated in national and international conferences with 17 oral communications (1 keynote), 4 posters and 6 proceedings.
She has experienced 6 months of international mobility during her PhD: (1) at the University of California (US, 2015, 3 months) with Prof. Digby D. Macdonald for the electrochemical characterization of sol-gel coatings, and (2) at Delft University of Technology (Netherlands, 2016-17, 3 months) with Dr. Y. Gonzalez-Garcia for the localized electrochemical characterization of sol-gel coatings.
She has co-directed 1 undergraduate student and a final master project from the MBA of the UC3M. She has been laboratory instructor in several engineering degrees (156h) and in the Master in Industrial Engineering (42h).
Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher in the Group of Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the URJC. Her duties involve the synthesis and characterization of new mesoporous silica nano-composites carrying drugs for anticancer applications.
