  • PhD in Chemistry, University of Vigo (2019)

Her work spans physical chemistry, computational chemistry, and catalysis, with a particular emphasis on designing and analyzing asymmetric reactions. She has contributed to studies involving manganese- and nickel-catalyzed processes, phosphine synthesis, and aromatic ring formation. Her recent publications highlight her expertise in reaction mechanisms, stereochemical control, and computational automated search techniques.

Marta has published extensively on topics such as enantioselective alkylation, hydrophosphination, and carbonylation reactions. Her articles often integrate computational chemistry with experimental validation, focusing on manganese catalysis, nickel-mediated reactions, and asymmetric synthesis of complex molecules. The themes align with organometallic chemistry and green chemistry principles.
