Elena del Corro García

Elena Del Corro received the Doctorate in Chemistry in 2011 from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, holding a FPU Fellowship and 2 mobility grants to visit the Université Lyon I (France 2007, 3.5 months) for high pressure experiments in graphene and the University of Texas at Dallas (USA 2010, 3 months) to perform “straintronics” in carbon nanotubes. In 2012 they were granted the PhD Extraordinary Award in 2012. As post-doc they held a competitive CNPq grant in Prof. Pimenta´s group in the Universidade Federal Minas Gerais (Brazil 2012, 13 months) for resonant Raman studies in new 2D materials; then moved with a contract to Heyrovsky Inst. (Prague 2014, 28.5 months) for high pressure combined with Raman studies on 2D materials. In 2017 to the present, they joined the Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices group in the ICN2, holding a Juan de la Cierva Incorporación grant and was later on granted with a Ramon y Cajal tenure grant. Recently, receiving a scientist position of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), they lead national and European research projects and have been recently granted with an ERC-Consolidator grant.
