JULIA DÍAZ MAGDALENO
Julia Díaz Magdaleno is a PhD student in COMET-NANO research group of the Biología y Geología, Física y Química Inorgánica Department at Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC). She is currently funded through the Comunidad de Madrid research project "César Nombela". She holds a Bachelor's degree in Experimental Sciences from Rey Juan Carlos University, where she was awarded the Bachelor's Trabajo Fin de Grado (TFG) at the IV Young Researchers Awards of the Social Council of Rey Juan Carlos University (2021). She also obtained a Master's degree in Chemical Science and Technology from the National University of Distance Education (UNED), graduating with highest honors (10/10) for her Master's Thesis and Research Project. In addition, she holds a Higher Technical Degree in Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory from IES Villaverde.
Julia began her scientific career in the Physical Chemistry area at Rey Juan Carlos University, where she worked as a laboratory technician and research assistant. During this period, she contributed to several research projects and participated in the publication of three scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals (DOI: 10.1021/acs.jcim.3c01737; 10.1007/s10973-023-12209-x; 10.1016/j.molliq.2023.121657).
Within COMET-NANO research group, she has participated in multiple research projects related to nanomaterials and coordination chemistry. Her research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of novel organic ligands, metal complexes, and nanomaterials with potential biological applications.
She has also been involved in several educational innovation and science outreach initiatives, participating in scientific dissemination activities, seminars, and workshops organized by different institutions. In addition, she has contributed to the organization and participation in national and international conferences and scientific meetings.
Her PhD research is centered on the sustainable synthesis of advanced nanomaterials, particularly mesoporous silica functionalized with novel photoactivatable metal complexes designed for biological and biomedical applications aimed at improving current therapeutic strategies. This research is developed within the framework of technological innovation for a sustainable future and is aligned with the objectives of the ITPS (Instituto de Investigación de Tecnologías para la Sostenibilidad). Furthermore, it contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to Good Health and Well-being and Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.
