Personal profile
ShortBio
Marina Peña Díaz completed her degree in Chemistry at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2017. Afterward, she obtained an inter-university Master degree in Electrochemistry, science and technology from the same university in 2018. She performed the master thesis at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) which was focused on the study of electrodeposited graphene oxide on microelectrode arrays for neural interfaces, in the group led by Prof. José Antonio Garrido. In 2018, she started her doctoral studies in Physics of Nanostructures and Advanced Materials at the University of Basque Country under the supervision of Celia Rogero and Sara Barja (CFM/MPC-CSIC-UPV/EHU). Her Ph.D. is focused on the study and development of new metal oxide catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) combining complementary surface science techniques (NAP-XPS/AFM/LEED/STM, LT-STM) and electrochemistry. She is currently writing her doctoral thesis and, since September 2021, she is working as a researcher in the Biomaterials Area in the Health Division of Tecnalia.
