María Paz García Núñez was born in Miguelturra (Ciudad Real, Spain) in 2000.

In 2018, she began her studies in the Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) in Ciudad Real, and completed it in 2022. From June to September 2021, she had the opportunity to undertake her external internships at the IRICA (Regional Institute of Applied Scientific Research) in Ciudad Real. During this period, she had the privilege of initiating herself into research in the Coordination Chemistry and Organometallic Catalysis Oriented (COMCat) group. From November 2021 to June 2022, she was the beneficiary of the MEC Collaboration with Departments Grant , which provided her with the opportunity to carry out extracurricular practices, continuing her work in the COMCat group. From June to September 2022, she had the satisfaction of receiving the IRICA Collaboration Grant, which allowed her to carry out extracurricular practices in the COMCat research group.

In the academic year 2022-2023, she was awarded the Santander Excellence Grant, being among the top twenty students at the University of Castilla-La Mancha. Additionally, she had the privilege of receiving the UCLM-Santander Grant for initiation into research for students of official master’s degrees. Thanks to this grant, she was able to develop as a researcher in the MSOC Nanochemistry laboratory, focusing on the field of carbon nanomaterials. She obtained her Master´s degree in Chemistry Research, with a project titled “Light-responsive frameworks made of carbon nanohorns and molecular photoswitches”, in MSOC Nanochemistry group, under the supervisión of Prof. Maria Antonia Herrero Chamorro and Dr. Daniel Iglesias Asperillas.

In 2024, she obtained a fellowship from UCLM to carry out his PhD titled “Coulombic supramolecular interaction as a driving force to form new functional nanomaterials with applications in sensing, catalysis and water purification (Coul-Nano)”, under the supervision of Prof. Maria Antonia Herrero Chamorro and Dr. Daniel Iglesias Asperilla.
