Sonia is a Tenured Scientist at the Instituto de Tecnología Química, ITQ. PhD in 2013 by Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), her work was devoted to gas separation membranes based on mixed ionic conductors and their applications in catalysis. She has co-authored 39 peer-reviewed contributions in international journals, and participated in more than 50 international conferences and national and European research projects, including industry contracts. In 2010, she received the Young Scientist Award by the European Material Research Society. She holds three patents on mixed ionic-electronic conductors based membranes. From 2015 to 2017, Dr. Escolástico joined the Institute for Microprocess Engineering (IMVT) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. In the present, she works in the Energy Conversion and Storage group of ITQ and her main activities deal with catalytic membrane reactors, microreactors and material science.
