Biography
Anna Igual Munoz is senior scientist at EPFL since 2022. She has a master degree in Industrial engineering (specialised in chemical engineering) and a PhD in Electrochemical corrosion (2001) from UPV. She did a Postdoctoral research at the University of Virginia (USA) in 2002 in the field of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and local electrochemical techniques. She was Professor at the Technical University of Valencia (UPV, Spain) and created and leaded the Tribocorrosion research Group till 2016. She was invited professor at EPFL in 2012. Her scientific interests are mainly focused in the understanding the interactions (chemical, mechanical and biological) between materials and surfaces (mainly metals and oxides) with the environment. Mainly in the fields of corrosion, tribology and new functional coatings.Fields of expertise
