Brief Bio:
During her PhD, Lorena have studied the co-adsorption of drugs and lipid layers and the transfer of ionisable psychotropics at the 1,2-dichloroethane | water interface, employing impedance and cyclic voltammetry. During her postdoc, she have worked on the formation of low dense self assembled monolayers on gold and fluorinated alkylsilane molecules on mica and silicon. She is currently working at Trinity College Dublin, investigating electrochemical reactions in organic media. Particularly interested in conducting surfaces and how they can be chemically modified for spintronic applications.
