Degree in chemistry from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 1989, and Doctor of Science from the same University in 1995. In parallel with the fulfillment of the doctorate, she worked in the company Asconisa dedicated to the treatment of by-products and wastes from petrochemical derivatives as responsible of the Laboratory. Also, she worked at the National Institute for Safety and Health in the Toxicology Department.

She has a long work career in Tecnalia Research & Innovation in different departments maintaining a multidisciplinary training and focused to chemical and environmental sector. She began her work in 1995, in the environmental area, as project manager, researching and developing new products and new environmentally friendly cleaner processes, improvement of current processes, wastewater treatment, and waste and effluent minimisation of effluents. From 1997 she is specialist in the field of electrochemistry and electromembranes research applied to development of industrial membrane separation process and development of new products in the following working areas: chemical industry, treatment of surface industry and waste and effluent treatment.

In 2010, she became part of CO₂ Capture and Valorization area (Division of Environment) developing more efficient technologies based on absorbents, adsorbents and membranes to capture CO₂. She also carried out processes to valorize CO₂ to convert it into a valuable product by electrochemical and electrocatalytic technologies or by CO₂ biofixation by microalgae cultivation.

Since January 2013, she belongs to Materials for Energy and Environment area within the Division of Energy and Environment of Tecnalia. She works in the synthesis of new materials to treat waste waters such as sorbents; electrodes based on graphene; coatings resistant to corrosion, photocatalytics, etc.

From January 2023 she belongs to Circularity area working in residues valorization group in the industrial effluent treatment in order to achieve zero discharge. 

She has presented her work in numerous national and international conferences and has published several articles in international journals. She has also supervised several PhD theses.
