Education

Dr. Edurne Gonzalez was educated at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) where she obtained her BSc. degree in Chemistry and M.Sc. in Applied Chemistry and Polymeric Materials. In 2013, she obtained her PhD degree on Applied Chemistry and Polymeric Materials from the same university with Cum Laude qualification and International Doctor Mention. During her PhD, she spent three months at University of Surrey (UK).
Her later post-doctoral research experience is wide, in 2014, she moved to Cornell University (USA) where she worked in the fabrication of functional and stimuli-responsive nanofibers by electrospinning for detection and drug delivery applications. In 2016, she came back to the Basque Country thanks to the Gipuzkoa Fellow grant. She worked as post-doctoral researcher in the Polymers and Soft Matter Group of the Materials Physics Center (Donostia-San Sebastián). Her research was focused on the synthesis of single-chain polymer nanoparticles for catalysis, drug delivery and sensing applications. Afterwards, she join the Polymerization Processes Group at POLYMAT, where she is currently developing her research.

Research

Dr. Edurne Gonzalez research is working in two main research lines; the development of sustainable functional coatings and the fabrication of advance functional nanofibers by green-electrospinning process.
