Postdoctoral Researchers
Dr Andrés F. Quintero-Jaime
Colombian / Spanish
Andrés' postdoctoral research is currently funded through an Irish Research Council (IRC) Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Award in 2024 (grant no. GOIPD/2024/792). Previously, Andrés' research was funded by the Advanced Materials Research Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme (ADMIRE), which is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND Action, hosted by AMBER - the Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research.
Andrés' research primarily involves the electrosynthesis of conducting polymer thin films and their nanocomposites with carbon nanotubes or polyoxometalates at polarised liquid|liquid interfaces for applications in flexible supercapacitors. He also has interests in the biphasic regeneration of enzymatic co-factors.

Juliana V. Diaz-Reyes
Colombian
Juliana's PhD research is funded through the DUALFLOW project. DUALFLOW is an acronym for “Dual circuit flow battery for hydrogen and value added chemical production”. The DUALFLOW project (grant no. 101070788) is funded through the Horizon Europe HORIZON-EIC-2021-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01-04 “Novel routes to green hydrogen Production” call.
Juliana's research primarily involves developing sustainable routes to conducting polymer electrosynthesis at polarised liquid|liquid interfaces, for example using iron-based chemical oxidants.
