Mariona Coll Group

Led by Dr. Mariona Coll

I am a tenured scientist at ICMAB since 2018. I received my PhD in Chemistry in 2007 from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. From 2007 to 2010 I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Maryland and NIST (USA). In 2010 I joined ICMAB as postdoctoral fellow holding prestigious contracts among them the “Ramón y Cajal”. My research expertise is on the synthesis of functional thin films with engineered properties that can be used for energy applications ranging from superconductors to photovoltaics. A focal point of my current research is the rational design of new multifunctional oxide coatings for photovoltaics combining nanochemistry and cost-effective deposition methodologies. Also, I am implementing an atomic layer deposition laboratory at ICMAB. I am engaged in outreach activities and promoting gender balance in science.
