Maibelín Rosales, New Marie Curie Postdoctoral Researcher at BCMaterials
Our center is happy to receive Dr. Maibelin Rosales as a post-doctoral researcher with a Marie Curie scholarship. After achieving her PhD in Materials Science from the University of Chile, Rosales has developed an important research career at the Advanced Mining Technology Center (AMTC) of the University of Chile. There she specialized in the design of nanomaterials activated with sunlight for the water remediation and also for the generation of green hydrogen from the decomposition of water molecules.
This later work earned Rosales the “25 women in Science” Latin America and Canada prize, awarded by the worldwide famous company 3M.
Rosales joins BCMaterials to develop the MERLIN project under a Marie Curie fellowship for the next two years. This work aims to develop photothermocatalytic nanocomposite membranes, using cutting-edge 3D printing techniques that, when activated with sunlight, will serve to decompose emerging pollutants present in water such as antibiotics and bacteria/genes resistant to them. The project addresses an innovative, economical solution that could be easily implemented in isolated and remote areas to solve a public health problem that is increasingly present on a global scale.
Welcome, Maibelín!
