M Angeles Herranz

Biography

M Ángeles Herranz is Associate Professor (tenured) of the Organic Chemistry Department at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) since 2009 (Researcher ID: K-1742-2014, Orcid Code: 0000-0001-9155-134X, h index: 31). She obtained her Ph.D. in 2001 from UCM under the supervision of Profs. Nazario Martín and Carlos Seoane, working on the synthesis and properties of donor-acceptor systems based on [60]fullerene and tetrathiafulvalene (TTF). Starting in 2001, she spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Luis Echegoyen, first at the University of Miami (Florida, USA) and then at Clemson University (South Carolina, USA), where she was engaged in a number of projects, including electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical characterization of new TTF-based dyads, and characterization of fullerene-derived materials employing electrochemical, ESR, and NMR techniques. In 2004 she joined the group of Prof. Nazario Martín at UCM holding a Ramón y Cajal research associate position (2004-2007), afterwards she became Assistant Professor (2007-2009) and from 2009 she is Associate Professor of Chemistry. Her current research interests, documented in about 100 scientific papers, reviews and book chapter contributions, focus on the chemistry, electronic and chiroptical properties of carbon nanostructures.
