Dr. Eva Pellicer is Full Professor (Catedrática) at the Physics Department of UAB since April 2023. She got the PhD in Chemistry (Excellent with Honours) in 2005 from the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) in the field of the electrodeposition of cobalt-based magnetic layers for microelectromechanical (MEMS) applications. Before joining the UAB she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Electronics Department at UB (2005-2006) and at the Institut Català de Nanotecnologia (2007-2009). Dr. Pellicer has performed postdoctoral research stays at Bioforsk (Norway) and ETH-Zürich (Switzerland).
She has authored or co-authored over 240 articles, which have received more than 6,000 citations (h = 47). Many of these articles have been published in top-ranked journals like Nature Communications, ACS Nano, Advanced Functional Materials, Small, Applied Materials Today, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Applied Catalysis B Environmental, Nanoscale, etc. and have been highlighted in the cover page of their respective issues. Dr. Pellicer has coordinated or participated in >30 national and international R&D projects. She is currently the co-PI of the national project PID2020–116844RB-C21, and the Spanish PI for the EU projects 'NICKEFFECT' (101058076) and the recently awarded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks (ITN-ETN) 'GREENS' (Grant Agreement under preparation).
She was awarded the Westinghouse Prize in 2005 from the Institute of Metal Finishing (UK), the Spanish L’Oréal-Unesco ‘For Women in Science’ (2014) and the L’Oréal-Unesco ‘International Rising Talents’ (2015), among others. Dr. Pellicer has supervised 14 PhD Theses (four of them have received the PhD extraordinary award from the PhD programme in Materials Science of UAB) and is currently supervising four PhD students.
In addition, she currently serves as Editor for the Journal of Alloys of Compounds (Elsevier). In the past, she has served as Editorial Board member of Nanomaterials (MDPI), Coatings (MDPI) and 3D Research (Springer), has co-edited several special issues for MDPI, RSC and Wiley and several books in Springer (e.g. “Commercialization of Nanotechnologies—A Case Study Approach”, “Advances in Applications of Industrial Biomaterials”, etc.) and Elsevier (Section Editor of “Smart Composite Materials”), and co-organized symposiums in on-site international meetings (e.g. E-MRS Spring Meeting) and co-chaired sessions in e-conferences (e.g. IOCN 2018 1st International Online Conference on Nanomaterials and CIWC-2 2020 2nd Coatings and Interfaces Web Conference).
