Diana was born in Madrid in 1993. After secondary school, she studied a degree called “Experimental Sciences” at Rey Juan Carlos University (2011-2015). Then, she continued her studies with a Master in Advanced Materials with the speciality of Nanotechnology, at Autónoma University of Madrid (2015-2016). In 2017, she started a PhD under supervision of Professors Santiago Gómez and Sanjiv Prashar, about nanomaterials in medicine
Diana obtained a scholarship for a short research in Chimie ParisTech, to study the phototherapeutic activity of some tin compounds functionalized into silica nanoparticles.
Diana loves sports, specially karate because she practices it since she was a child. Also, she likes to read, take a walk and do “escape rooms”!
