Former members

Marisa has a Bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering (2009) from the Polytechnique University of Valencia (Spain) and a Master’s degree in Molecular Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (2012) from the University of Alicante (Spain). In October 2010, she joined Molecular Nanotechnology Lab, where she did her PhD thesis on the synthesis of new materials based on titania. She is actually a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Strasbourg (France).
Doctor, Nanomol

Jesús Jiménez has a Bachelor degree in Chemistry (2014) from the University of Salamanca (Spain) and a Master’s degree in Materials Science from the University of Alicante (Spain). In 2014, he joined Molecular Nanotechnology Lab to do his Master thesis based on photoactive materials based on titania. He is currently a PhD student at the ICIQ (Spain).
Master’s degree in Materials Science, UA

Rodrigo Gil has a Bachelor degree in Chemistry (2014) from the University of Salamanca (Spain) and a Master’s degree in Materials Science from the University of Alicante (Spain). In 2014, he joined Molecular Nanotechnology Lab to do his Master thesis based on the design of multifunctional catalyst for the controlled release of hydrogen from ammonia borane at the Molecular Nanotechnology Lab. He is currently a PhD student at the University of Granada (Spain).
Master’s degree in Materials Science, UA
