DANIELA DE MORAIS ZANATA

Presentation

Daniela earned her B.Sc. in Chemistry (2015) from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. She studied hybrid composites based on epoxy resin and inorganic nanofillers. In 2014, she worked as an intern at the Research and Innovation Center of Solvay (Brazil) to develop composites based on natural rubber and silicon particles. During her master`s dissertation (University of Campinas - Unicamp, 2015 - 2017), she developed a novel free-standing gel based on cellulose nanocrystals and polysilsesquioxane. In 2021, she defended her Ph.D. Thesis (Unicamp, 2017 - 2021), focused on the synthesis, characterization, and self-assembly of pH- and thermo-responsive block copolymers for biomedical applications. As a post-doctoral researcher, in 2022, she joined Inorganic-polymer hybrid and nanostructured materials at POLYMAT-UPV/EHU. Her activity was focused on developing new polymers for electrolytes and electrodes in batteries and supercapacitors.

In February 2024, she joined CIC energiGUNE as a postdoctoral researcher in the Advanced Electrolytes and Cell Integration group.
