Biography

Soheila earned her doctorate in condensed matter physics from the University of Guilan in Iran in January 2023. Throughout her academic journey, she specialized in investigating metal oxide thin films, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and their resultant nanostructures, with a focus on their applications as electrochemical electrodes and photocatalysts. After completing her Ph.D., Soheila began a postdoctoral researcher position at the Inorganic Chemistry Department of the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). Here, she contributed to the European project SPIRIT (Solid-state Potassium-Ion batteRIes for safe and susTainable energy storage), where she played a role in exploring materials such as Prussian White (PW) and carbon as cathodic and anodic materials for potassium-ion batteries (KIB). Since March 2024, Soheila has continued her research journey as a Postdoctoral researcher within the Multifunctional Nanocomposites Group at IMDEA materials. Her primary focus is on pioneering the development of nanostructured free-form electrodes with exceptional areal capacities for Li-ion batteries.
