Projects

María Jesús Fernández received her Ph. D. in Physics in 1992 from the UNED of Madrid. She has worked in CSIC, firstly in the Group of Antennas and Microwaves and presently in the GRIDSEN Group at the CSIC in the research and development of gas sensor, as tenured researcher. She has participated in more than 20 research projects related to gas sensors, environmental monitoring, process and quality control (food, beverages), civil security (biological and chemical warfare agents), health and recently liquid and biological sensors. She is co-author of more than 70 publications in international scientific journals and congress proceedings.

Her current research focuses on gravimetric sensors (SAW, SH-SAW, Love-wave) whose detection is based on changes of the resonant frequency and their applications as gas or liquid sensors. RF characterization and preparation of sensing layers with polymer or nanostructured materials (thin layer, nanofibers, nanowires) using different methods of deposit of the sensitive layers (spinning, spray coating, electrospinning). Also she works on resistive sensors, based on the electrical conductivity changes; developments for the preparation and characterization of doped and undoped metal oxides and study and research of new nanostructured materials as carbon nanotubes or graphene oxides composites capable to improve sensitivity or stability in the gas detection.
