Dr. Edurne Avellanal-Zaballa

Chemistry degree at the University of the Basque Country- UPV/EHU) in 2015. Interuniversity Master in 2016 in New Materials between the University of the Basque Country and the University of Cantabria (Extraordinary Master’s Award). Ph.D. in Materials’ Science and Technology (Extraordinary Award) obtained at the same university (2017-2021).

Pre-doctoral stay (3 months) at the École Polytechnique Féderale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland), at the Laboratory for Computational Molecular Design (LCMD) of Prof. Clémence Corminbouef, to specialize in quantum mechanics calculations. Currently, she is assistant professor at Physical Chemistry Department at the UPV/EHU.

Research focused on the design, spectroscopic, electrochemical and laser characterization and quantum mechanics simulation of organic fluorescence dyes (specially BODIPYs) in order to apply them as photoactive materials in biomedicine.

Regular reviewer of various international journals in the areas of Materials Science, Physical Chemistry, and Multidisciplinary Chemistry. Teaching Physical Chemistry and Instrumental Techniques subjects at Pharmacy Degree (UPV/EHU). Supervision of several bachelor theses and currently co-supervising a doctoral thesis. Member of the University Teaching Evaluation Commission (2015-2020).

Dissemination activities: publications, research news and interviews (Ekaia, Elhuyar, IkerGazte…) and workshops and outreach activities for society in general and young people in particular (Faculty Open Days, Science Week, Elhuyar Science Fair…). Member of the scientific committee of Student Conference of the Basque Country evaluating bachelor thesis which promotes sustainable development goals from 2030 Agenda.
