MARIA JESUS GARCIA GUIMAREY

Maria Jesús García Guimarey is a Research Fellow (Ramón y Cajal Contract) at the Departamento de Física Aplicada of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (USC). She is affiliated with the Instituto de Materiales (iMATUS) and the NaFoMat Group (Nanomaterials, Photonics, and Soft Materials). Her work focuses on thermophysical characterization of lubricants and nanomaterials for renewable energy applications. She holds a PhD in Materials Science (2019, Cum Laude) from USC, advised by Dr. M.J. Pérez Comuñas and Dr. A. Amigo. Key achievements include:

• Education:
  • PhD in Materials Science (USC, 2019)
  • Master in Renewable Energy (Universidad de San Pablo CEU, 2015)
  • Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering (USC, 2014)
• Research: Specializes in nanolubricants, tribology, and thermophysical properties of materials. Her work emphasizes sustainable additives and their applications in wind energy and lubricant efficiency.
• Awards:
  • Premio Extraordinario de Doutoramento (2019)
  • IACOBUS Fellowship (Portugal, 2016–2017)
  • Xunta de Galicia Postdoc Grant (2019)
• Labs: Active in the Laboratorio de Propiedades Termofísicas (LPT) and collaborates internationally (e.g., University of Porto, University of Bournemouth).

Her research bridges materials science and renewable energy, addressing challenges in lubricant efficiency and nanomaterial stability under extreme conditions.
