Trosolwyg

Dr Victoria Garcia Rocha is currently a Lecturer in Composites working in the area of carbon-ceramic composites. She holds a MEng degree in Chemical Engineering and PhD in Materials Science and over six years Postdoctoral Experience including an Intra-European Marie Curie Fellowship at Imperial College London. Her expertise lies in the field of materials science, chemistry and engineering of carbon-based composite materials and ceramics. Her research interests are in the relationship between chemical structure and bulk properties of carbon materials, carbon-ceramic and ceramic composites, which enable the development of synthesis, scale up and processing technologies with the aim of finding new composite materials for different applications, primarily advanced structural materials and energy devices.
