Dr. Cristina Vallés
Cristina obtained a BSc in Physical Chemistry and a PhD in Nanomaterials from the University of Zaragoza (Spain). After working as a postdoctoral researcher at the CRPP-University of Bordeaux (France) and ICB-CSIC in Zaragoza (Spain), where she developed expertise in the field of functional graphene based composites, she joined The School of Materials (University of Manchester) as a PDRA. Currently she is investigating the structure and surface chemistry of graphene materials to reinforce and optimize the physical properties of polymer composites.

Dr. Eunice Cunha
Eunice obtained her BSc in Chemistry from University of Minho, in Portugal, with the main focus in organic chemistry. Her Master degree in Micro and Nanotechnologies was obtained in the same institution, focusing on the characterization of carbon nanomaterials and the production of graphene nanoribbons from carbon nanotubes. She also received her PhD in Science and Engineering of Polymer and Composites from University of Minho on the chemical functionalization of carbon related materials (carbon nanotubes, graphite and graphene), production of graphene and graphene nanoribbons and their use in polymer nanocomposites. She joined the School of Materials as PDRA in February of 2017 and will investigate into the chemical modification of graphene and its use as reinforcement in polymer composites. eunice.cunha-2@manchester.ac.uk / Office: G27 The Mill |
