Mr. Sc. Valentina Martinez
Research Assistant, RBI LASC, 2019-Present M.S., Faculty of Science, University Of Zagreb, 2017-2019 B.S., Faculty of Science, University Of Zagreb, 2013-2017 e-mail: valentina.martinez@irb.hr Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.hr/citations?user=xt0wbz0AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7918-9843 CROSBI: https://www.bib.irb.hr/profile/36188 |
Valentina grew up in Varaždin, Croatia. She obtained her B.S. and M.S. in chemistry from the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb. During her time there, she worked on the synthesis and characterization of hydrogen- and halogen-bonded co-crystals via solution and mechanochemical synthesis in the group of prof Dominik Cinčić under the supervision of prof Vladimir Stilinović. She joined LASC group in 2019 when she started her Ph.D. studies under the supervision of dr Krunoslav Užarević. Her current research interest is mechanochemical synthesis of non-conventional phases of metal-organic frameworks of industrial interest. Apart from this, she is exploring mechanochemical strategies for guest encapsulation. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, biking, and hiking.
