Biography

Marta Morales took her First-Cycle Degree in Optics and Optometry and two Master’s degrees at the University of Alicante (UA): a) the Master’s Degree in Advanced Optometry and Vision Science and b) the Master’s Degree in Nanoscience and Molecular Nanotechnology. After completing her studies, she gained an FPI predoctoral fellowship at the UA Faculty of Science’s, in the Organic Electronics and Photonics group, where she undertook the PhD thesis entitled High performance thin films organic lasers for sensing applications.

She has also worked with other internationally renowned centres and groups, such as the Organic Semiconductor Centre at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, and the Nakamura group in Japan. These collaborations have resulted in several scientific articles published in the high-impact journals Nature Communications and Advanced Optical Materials and an international patent. Following her PhD studies, she secured a post-doctoral contract (funded jointly by the Castile and León Regional Government - European Regional Development Fund) with the internationally recognised Laser Applications and Photonics group (ALF-USAL).

In January 2019, in the framework of the Valencia Region’s Generation Talent (GenT) programme, she became an active member of the internationally prestigious Holography and Optical Processing research group, from the UA Institute of Physics Applied to Science and Technology.
