I then\u00a0joined the group of Dr Emilio Palomares, in the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ, Spain), as a PhD student. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tdx.cat\/handle\/10803\/8594\">thesis<\/a> focused on the development and characterisation of molecular-based nanostructured devices for photovoltaic applications.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, I moved to Imperial College London to work as a Research Associate in the research group of Prof James Durrant. My research focused on the study of molecular and nanostructured solar-to-fuel conversion systems, using advanced time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. I was awarded with a Marie Curie Career Integration Grant (2012) and a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Spanish Government (2011).<\/p>\n<p>Since October 2014, I am a Teaching Fellow in the School of Chemistry, at Newcastle University. I deliver lectures for undergraduate and postgraduate students, primarily in Physical Chemistry. I am also a tutor in organic chemistry and senior laboratory demonstrator.<\/p>\n<p>I am also interested in organising outreach activities for the general public and secondary school students. Since 2008, I have been the coordinator of 5 different summer schools within the prestigious programme &#8220;Youth and Science&#8221;, in Spain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact details<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>e-mail: anna.reynal@ncl.ac.uk<br \/>\nPhone number: +44 (0)1912088536<\/p>\n<p>Address: School of Chemistry<br \/>\nBedson Building<br \/>\nNewcastle University<br \/>\nEdward&#8217;s walk<br \/>\nNE1 7RU, Newcastle Upon Tyne<br \/>\nUnited Kingdom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finished my BSc studies in Chemistry at the University of Girona (Spain) in 2006, and then moved to the University Rovira i Virgili (Spain) to study a MSc in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
