A Molecular Science Research Group
Marina received her degree in Chemistry at the University of Sevilla (one of the sunniest cities of southern Spain). She continued her studies in Sevilla, first as a Master student and later as a PhD student under the supervision of Professor Ernesto Carmona and Dr. Jesus Campos. Her work has been focused on synthesis and reactivity of dimolybdenum complexes containing quadruple metal-metal bonds. In the middle of her PhD, she went for a stay in the University of Berkeley, California, to work with the group of Professor T. Don Tilley. After finishing her PhD, she stayed as a postdoc for some months in her PhD group developing new bimetallic FLP systems that contain first row transition metal atoms. Then, she was awarded with a Margarita Salas Spanish fellowship to join the group of Professor Mark R. Crimmin at Imperial College London.
