Dr Estrella Sanz Rodriguez is a Complutense University of Madrid (UCM, Spain) B.Sc. (1996) (Analytical Chemistry), Ph.D. (2007) graduate. After her graduation in 1996, she began her research career undertaking a one-year research project at the Analytical Department of UCM. From April 2003 to July 2007, she carried out her PhD at the Department of Analytical Chemistry at UCM. For the periods 1997-2003, 2007-2009 and 2011-2013, she held positions as laboratory technician and analytical scientist within commercial and governmental laboratories. Between the periods 2009 to 2011, Estrella was employed as a postdoctoral research fellow in a collaborative research project between the UCM and the Spanish Institute for Cultural Heritage (IPCE). In 2014 Estrella joined the Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science (ACROSS) and since that time has been employed on a series of contractual positions, intermittently holding research technician and research fellow positions.
Dr Sanz Rodriguez currently holds a position at Chemistry-Analytical Chemistry (Australian Centre for Separation Science-ACROSS) as Senior Research Fellow within the framework of the Australian Forest and Wood Innovation (AFWI) research institute.
