Graduate and PhD in Materials Physics from the Complutense University of Madrid in 1988 and 1992, respectively. In 1995 she joined the Public University of Navarre (UPNA) as Associated Professor and became Full Professor in 2011. Her research activity focuses mainly on the magnetic properties and applications of nanostructured magnetic materials. In particular, her interest has focused in recent years on environmental applications and the use of magnetic nanoparticles and nanostructures in wastewater treatment processes (adsorption and photocatalysis). She is currently a member of the Technical Committee (TC) of the IEEE Magnetics Society and the Advisory Board of the Journal of Alloys and Compounds. She is responsible (research leader) of the research group “Physical properties and applications of materials” (Department of Sciences-INAMAT2, UPNA).
