Iciar Monterrubio completed her degree in chemistry at the University of Granada where she was awarded a scholarship to carry out 16 months of her studies at the University of Florence where she specialized in environmental chemistry and completed her final degree project within the framework of contaminants in aqueous systems.
Once she finished her degree, she completed a professional Master´s degree in rubber and derivatives technology and immediately received a Faro scholarship to work at Pibulsongkram Rajabhat University (Phitsanulok, Thailand) for 7 months during which she focused on pollution research by heavy metals and particulate matter in air and biomarkers. After this stay, she completed a Master´s Degree in Environmental Pollution and Toxicology at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) where she did her master´s thesis on the development of epoxy-silica hybrid resins free of bisphenol A enriched with titanium dioxide nanoparticles and titanic dioxide doped with cerium.
In 2018 she began working at the CIC energiGUNE as laboratory technician for the solid-state electroactive materials research group working in the field of Li-ion, Na-ion and Na-air batteries. Subsequently, Iciar Monterrubio carried out her doctoral thesis, presented in 2023, on the accelerated development of materials for electrodes in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries by developing and using automated modules and advanced experimental and computational techniques. During her doctorate, Iciar made a three month stay at the Fraunhofer IZM research center in Berlin.
Since April 2024, Iciar Monterrubio has been part of the degradation mechanisms, ageing and safety group as a permanent researcher.
