After graduating and obtaining a Degree in Chemistry by the University of Málaga, Marián went on to get a Master’s Degree in Applied Chemistry by the Universities of Málaga, Córdoba, Jaén and Huelva, with a specialization in surface characterization. Her ultimate research goal would be the better understanding of the structure and properties of organic polymers by their analysis using atomic force microscopy.
She spends her spare time as an activist, aiming for a better world through the sharing of kindness and knowledge.

Alberto Peinador Veiga

Pre-doctoral researcher

a.peinador@udc.es
Alberto earned Physics and Chemistry BScs from Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, sparking his interest in materials science. He further pursued this interest during his MSc at Universidad de Sevilla, where he discovered and explored energy harvesters developing triboelectric nanogenerators. Currently working on his PhD on organic solar cells, he focuses on the structure of donor polymer and small molecule acceptor blends as well as their thermal stability. His research aims to advance understanding and drive the development of green energy technologies.
 

Paula Gallardo Santos

Pre-doctoral researcher

p.gallardo.santos@udc.es
Paula Gallardo graduated with a degree in Chemistry from the University of Málaga (UMA) in 2020. She then pursued a Master’s in Advanced Techniques in Chemistry at the University of Valladolid (UVa), where she specialized in the synthesis and characterization of liquid crystals.
Currently, she is working on her doctoral thesis, focusing on the solid-state processing of the semiconductor polymer P3HT. Her research aims to determine how this processing method influences the mechanical and barrier properties of the material compared to conventional solution processing.
