Dr. Ana María Moreno is a distinguished researcher in the field of chemical sciences, specializing in the design, development, and characterization of innovative cement-based materials with advanced environmental functionalities. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences from the University of Castilla-La Mancha in 2022, following her master’s and undergraduate studies in chemistry from the same institution. Currently serving as a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Construction Sciences Eduardo Torroja (IETcc-CSIC) within the Department of Materials, she is an active member of the “Recycling of Materials” research group. Her work focuses on promoting sustainability within the construction sector by developing materials capable of acting as CO₂ sinks while incorporating recycled and industrial by-products, aligning her research with the principles of the circular economy. Dr. Moreno’s scientific contributions emphasize the valorization of waste materials to reduce environmental impact and enhance the performance of construction materials. She has also been instrumental in developing novel methodologies for measuring gamma radioactivity in cement-based materials, contributing to safer and more sustainable material design. Her multidisciplinary approach bridges chemistry, materials science, and environmental engineering, addressing global challenges related to waste management, decarbonization, and sustainable construction practices. Through her research, Dr. Moreno demonstrates a strong commitment to advancing green technologies and circular solutions, fostering innovation that supports both scientific progress and environmental responsibility.
