Lecturer in School of Experimental Sciences and Technology at Rey Juan Carlos University. Her research focuses on photochemical and advanced oxidation processes for the removal of microbiological pathogens and contaminants of emerging concern from water, low-cost technologies for water purification, and decentralised technologies for drinking water in developing communities.
