ITE is a private non-profit association of companies. As an Energy Technological Centre, ITE is registered in the Register of Technological Centres of the Ministry of Science and Innovation, number 74.
Our aim is the generation of knowledge and the development of technologies that respond to the challenges posed by the energy transition, and that we transfer to the companies favouring the increase of their competitiveness, from technology and innovation.
We have been working for and with companies for more than 3 decades, since its foundation in 1994 on the initiative of companies and with the support of the Generalitat Valenciana through the Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad Empresarial, IVACE (Valencian Institute for Business Competitiveness). We are a Research Centre in agreement with the Polytechnic University of Valencia, UPV, and we are part of the Network of Technological Institutes of the Valencian Community, REDIT.
Our presence in European countries such as Spain, Italy, France and Germany, as well as in other parts of the world, such as China, Peru, Chile, Colombia and Morocco, allows us to position ourselves as an international benchmark in the energy and technology sector.
PhD. in Chemistry from the University of Alcalá de Henares in 2019, Master in Therapeutic Targets and Cell Signaling in 2014 and degree in Biology in 2013 from the University of Alcalá. During 2012-2013 she participated as a collaborating researcher in the Molecular Biology department, in the group of Dr. Antonio Jiménez Ruíz. Subsequently, she completed her doctoral studies under the direction of Dr. Cristina González and Alberto Escarpa in the Department of Analytical Chemistry of the same university. Her research is based on the development of new electroanalytical strategies for sensing. Specifically, her research has been focused on the development of electrochemical (bio) -sensors using nanomaterials, as well as microfluidic strategies and wearable sensors. She completed a 6-month predoctoral stay (2017-2018) at the University of California San Diego, in the group of Dr. Joseph Wang. She is the author of more than 20 scientific articles (Index h = 14), 4 patents. In 2019 she finished her doctoral thesis with the qualification of outstanding Cum laude, receiving several awards, including the award for the best doctoral thesis by the Royal Spanish Society of Chemistry -territorial section of Madrid- and the award for the best Doctoral Thesis 2019 of the specialized group of Science and Bioanalytical Technologies. She joined as a researcher at the Technological Institute of Energy (ITE) in June of the same year, specifically at the Department of Applied Chemistry and New Materials. Her current research focuses on the development of enzymatic biofuel cells and biosensors for technology transfer to companies. This has been also active in training programs for science degrees and PhD and has contributed to publications, and research projects either as researcher and as coordinator. This inlcudes coordination of the BioSensCell, BioCell-Power, COVSENS, ENERGYM cell, ELECTROBEAT and WatchPlant (101017899, European project H2020). Worth to highlight effective technology transference as private R&D projects (150.000€) for ad hoc biosensor development. Contributions to congress with posters, oral presentations and as invited speaker started in 2014.
