Martinez, Isabel  PhD

Senior researcher with 87 publications in the last 23 years
PhD in Chemistry (Complutense of Madrid University, 2003) within the program of Science and Technology of Materials. Since November 1998 she has developed her career almost entirely at the Institute of Construction Science Eduardo Torroja, IETcc (CSIC), belonging to the corrosion group. In 2008 she was granted as researcher within the Ramón y Cajal program, founded by the Science and Technology Ministry, starting a new research project in the Polytechnic University of Madrid (Civil Engineering department). Dr. Isabel Martinez has been working on more than 30 national and international research projects (founded by the European Union and the Spanish Government), and more than 55 research contracts founded by private partners, being the main researcher in most of them since 2008, and mainly focussed on nuclear structures assessment. She has written about 100 technical reports and deliverables and has published about 40 papers in journals included in the SCI, participating in more than 100 international conferences. She is co-inventor of two patents related to commercial developments of electrochemical methods applied to reinforced concrete, one of which is exploited by the industry internationally. About her teaching experience, she has taught during two editions (2010-2011 and 2011-2012) in the master SEDUREC organized by UIMP and CSIC, being the responsible of the subject "Repair of concrete structures'. She was also coordinator of the specialization course in reliability and durability of materials and structures (180 hours). In 2012 she directed the S5E course: Sustainability, Energy Efficiency, and Building and Structures Assessment, organized by IETcc (CSIC) (140 hours). Since 2013 is collaborating with AECID in the PIFTE and INTERCOONECTA program, directing the cooperation project “Sustainable construction” in 5 different editions (last one on 2021). It is also noticeable her experience in electro-remediation techniques, and assessing corrosion in special structures such as cultural heritage or nuclear structures, promoting also in this area training courses . Among her research lines: Concrete durability; Non-destructive techniques for the assessment; Electrochemical techniques for the characterization of degradation processes in concrete and steel. Traditional and electrochemical repair and protection methods applied to structures affected by corrosion. She has a permanent position as Senior Researcher in the IETcc (CSIC) within the research group Sustainable Interaction of Construction Materials with the Environment, ISCMA, in the Construction Department, and has been Head of the Safety and Durability of Structures Department and Director of the Torroja Seminary cycles. Currently, she is Director of the CSIC Editorial Collection “Monografías IETcc” and the Deputy Director of the IETcc. Among her research lines: • Non-destructive techniques for the assessment of cultural heritage structures. • Electrochemical techniques for the characterization of degradation processes in concrete and steel. • Concrete durability and service life assessment. Repair and protection methods applied to structures affected by corrosion. show More
