GARCIA GUIMAREY

I hold a degree in Chemical Engineering (BEng) from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2014 (5-year Degree; Average grade: 7.42/10). I also obtained a MSc in Renewable Energies (2015 – grade point: 7.92/10), at the University of San Pablo CEU (Madrid, Spain). I joined as a researcher in training, within the project “Use of nanofluids in the production of wind energy and in the formulation of more efficient lubricants, ENE2014-55489-C2-1-R” in the Thermophysical Properties Laboratory, LPT, at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC). Subsequently, I was awarded a Ph.D. in Materials Science with the thesis entitled “Thermophysical Characterization of Lubricants Additivated with Nanoparticles for their Application in Renewable Energies” (2019 – Cum Laude and Extraordinary Ph.D. Award) by the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) supervised by Dr. M.J.P. Comuñas (ORCID: 0000-0002-8324-1103) and Dr. A. Amigo (ORCID: 0000-0002-8092-6502). During my Ph.D. I was awarded a stay grant from IACOBUS Programme 2016-2017 - European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation Galicia-North Portugal (GNP-ECT) for three months at the University of Porto (Portugal). I began as researcher fellow at Bournemouth University (UK) in 2019 with a competitive post-doctoral grant from Xunta de Galicia (Spain) with reference grant ED481B-2019-015. I am also a member of NaFoMat Group (http://nafomat.usc.es/people/status/post_docs) and iMATUS Institute of Materials (https://imatus.usc.es/investigadores), both founded by Xunta de Galicia.
