Garcia-Araez, Nuria - University of Southampton

个人简介

Nuria Garcia-Araez obtained her first-class degree in Chemistry in 2002 at the University of Alicante (Spain), where she also got her Ph.D. (cum laude) in 2007 in the field of single-crystal electrochemistry under the supervision of Prof. Juan Feliu and Dr. Victor Climent. Then, she received a Marie-Curie Intra-European Fellowship and a postdoctoral fellowship by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation to work in the group of Prof. Huib Bakker at AMOLF and Prof. Mark Koper at Leiden University (The Netherlands) on the application of a variety of optical and nonlinear optical techniques to study the structure and dynamics of water near ions and at electrochemical interfaces. In 2011, she obtained a position as a senior scientist in the group of Prof. Petr Novak at the Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland to study lithium-air batteries. In 2012 she was appointed lecturer in electrochemistry at the University of Southampton. Over the course of her career, she has been awarded 9 academic prizes, including the Best Spanish Young Electrochemist award by CIDETEC in 2012. In 2016, she received a prestigious Early Career Researcher Fellowship by the EPSRC.

研究领域

Garcia-Araez’s most recent research is focused on the development of lithium-oxygen and lithium-sulphur batteries with the potential of delivering 5 times more energy than current lithium-ion batteries of the same weight. Her research approach is to gain a fundamental understanding of the complex reaction mechanism, identifying the bottlenecks in performance, and developing innovative solutions targeted to solve these limitations. She has also been involved in the development of a new method for lithium battery recycling (patented in 2014), and in developing high performance lithium-ion batteries by tuning the structure and composition. She has also extensive experience in developing sophisticated spectroscopic techniques to study in-situ electrochemical processes, in some cases with femtosecond time resolution. She has also extensive knowledge on interfacial thermodynamics, single-crystal electrodes, electrocatalysis and she is the co-inventor of a new method of nanoparticle synthesis (patented in 2011).
