Role

Marta Doval Miñarro is a Higher Research Scientist carrying out research into standards for gases at low concentrations required to underpin measurements of ambient air quality. She works with different analytical techniques such as chemiluminescence, fluorescence, electrochemical detection, cavity ringdown spectroscopy and FTIR.

Biography

Marta achieved her degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Murcia (Spain) in 2003 and she received her PhD in Environmental Monitoring from the same University in 2009. She has 2 years of postdoctoral experience at the Mediterranean Centre for Environmental Studies Foundation (CEAM) in Valencia (Spain). In these years her activity was focused on the improvement of continuous gas analyser data quality and the study of gaseous pollutant dynamics in ambient air.
