Carmen Mora Moreno
My name is Carmen Mora Moreno. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the University of Córdoba. Afterwards, I moved to Cádiz to pursue a Master's degree in Nanoscience and Materials Technology at the University of Cádiz.
Following the completion of my master's studies, I began my PhD research in the Department of Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, and Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Cádiz. I am currently in the final year of my doctoral thesis and close to completing it.
My research focuses on the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of copper-based catalysts for their application in environmentally relevant reactions, with the aim of developing efficient and alternative pathways for energy production. A key aspect of this work is the use of high-resolution electron microscopy, which allows us to study the properties of materials at the nanoscale.
In addition, during my PhD, I have had the opportunity to undertake several research stays, including at the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry (ICP-CSIC) in Madrid, the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), and the Institute of Chemistry and Processes for Energy, Environment and Health (ICPEES) at the University of Strasbourg, France.
