Monica Miranda Mugica received her B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of the Basque Country in 2016 (San Sebastian, Spain). She finished her Masters Degree in Chemistry and Polymers in 2017, specialising in Polymeric Materials. She did her Master's thesis in the Polymerization Processes Group of POLYMAT, in which she developed some block copolymers using asymmetric and symmetric RAFT agent by miniemulsion polymerization. Since January 2018, Monica is developing and characterising new materials, such as fluorogels, in order to improve the biocompatibility of biosensors at the University of Cambridge.
