Raquel Catalán Carrió
(Ph.D. student at AMMa-LOAC and BIOMICs microfluidics Teams)
Biography
My name is Raquel Catalán, I studied Chemistry and a Master degree in Electrochemistry at the University of Valencia (UV). Then, I worked for six months in the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) studying the corrosion of hip prosthesis. In 2018 I finished my Master degree in Environmental Contamination and Toxicology at the Basque Country University (UPV/EHU) on microfluidics for the detection of nitrite and nitrate in water.
Research
My thesis project deals with the generation of innovative detection systems based on microfluidics and optical fibers to monitor water analytes at the point of need.
