CV Lattes
Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola Politécnica (EP) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Espanha
She holds a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Salamanca, Spain (2004), a master's degree in Petroleum Technology from Rey Juan Carlos University, Spain (2007), and a Ph.D. with European mention in Chemical Engineering, Environment, and Materials from Rey Juan Carlos University, Spain (2010). She was a FAPESP (2011-2014) and CNPq (2014) postdoctoral fellow, as well as a FAPESPs Young Researcher (2015-2019) in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of São Paulo. Currently, she is Associate Professor at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (Spain). She has expertise in the field of Thermodynamics, with a focus on studying the solid-liquid equilibrium of ethyl ester mixtures present in biodiesel, the formation and dissociation of gas hydrates through high-pressure calorimetry, and the prevention of paraffinic deposit formation in oil pipelines.

The study and understanding of the mechanisms of gas hydrates formation anddissociation have applications in various areas such as flow assurance of oil and gas, waterpurification, capture and sequestration of CO2 and also in the possible use as an alternativeenergy source to other fuels such as oil or coal. However, there are many unknowns regardingtheir formation/dissociation -especiall…
Gas hydrates are compounds formed by well-defined crystalline structures in which water molecules form a cage capable of trapping inside small molecules such as low molecular weight gases. Despite being responsible for the blockage of crude oil extraction pipes, especially in undersea regions, such as the Brazilian pre-salt region, these compounds are of special interest for their potenti…
The aim of this research project is to establish a methodology based on high pressure differential scanning calorimetry to study the kinetics of formation and dissociation of gas hydrates of industrial interest in the presence and absence of additives. In addition, the existing kinetic models in the literature will be tested to determine its limitations and, if necessary, other models wil…
Gas hydrates are solid structures formed by association of water molecules and low molecular weight gases. It is important to understand the mechanisms of formation and dissociation of gas hydrates in several areas, being currently the most remarkable those related to flow assurance of oil and gas in pipelines, water purification, capturing and sequestration of CO2 or even the possible us…

This project proposes a research plan for an internship in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. J. P.Martin Trusler (London, UK) during 10-month to complement the thesis in progress entitled "Kinetic study of the formation and dissociation of gas hydrates." Hydrate induction time can be significantly affected by various chemical species formed under different suspension pHs values through particle…
This project proposes a research plan for internship in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Amadeu K. Sum (Colorado, USA) during 6-month in order to complement the thesis in progress entitled "Thermodynamic study of the formation and dissociation of gas hydrates". In short, the proposal is based on the studies in situ of gas hydrates structures at high pressures by Raman and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic…
