Main researcher
International PhD by the University of A Coruña (UDC). Substitute Professor (2010 - 2019), Assistant Professor (2019 - 2021) and Associate Professor (present) at the Polytechnic School of Engineering of the University of A Coruña.
Her research focuses on the technical-economic study of marine renewable energies: offshore wind energy, wave energy, hybrid systems of marine energy, etc. Her research activity was developed in various international research projects and in several foreign research centers in the field of marine renewable energy. As a result of these investigations, several articles in high-impact journals have been published.
She is currently principal investigator of the following projects:
(1) European project ARCWIND “Adaptation and implementation of floating wind energy conversion technology for the Atlantic region”.
(2) Spanish national project SEARENEW "Design of a tool for the selection of offshore renewable energy locations and technologies: application to Spanish territorial waters".
(3) Spanish national project SEASUN "Characterization of a software to determine the roadmap of the offshore solar energy in the Spanish shore".
(4) European project Erasmus+ "STEM Is Inspiring Future Careers".
As a result of her research activity, she has received the following awards: the First Prize of the Official College of Industrial Engineers of Galicia (2009), the Prize for the best poster at the DeepWind Congress in Norway (2013) and the IX González Llanos Research Prize in the area of naval engineering (2014).
