Currently Full Professor of Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering at the Dept. of Materials Science and Physical Chemistry of the Universitat de Barcelona. She belongs to the research group Centre for Design and Optimization of Processes and Materials (DIOPMA) which has a large experience on technology transfer, mainly to SMEs, reflected in the 22 patent licenses she has co-authored. Her interests in research have been focused on the synthesis and microscopical characterization of ceramic materials and metal alloys, and characterization of their mechanical properties at nanoscale by instrumented nanoindentation. She is currently working on the selection of materials for efficient and sustainable processes and systems, including life cycle of materials, their sustainability and circular economy. Her research activity has led to more than 100 articles in indexed journals, more than 180 participations in conferences, and she has supervised 12 PhD Thesis. She has held several management positions at the University of Barcelona, and now she is Vice-Rector of Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Knowledge Transfer.
