M. Campo graduated in Chemistry from Complutense University of Madrid and has a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the Rey Juan Carlos University. She received a FPU grant from the Ministry Education. She has 54 research articles (Web of Science,WoS), with most of them in the first quartile. She has a H index of 20 (Scopus) and 19 (WoS). More than 65 contributions in national and international conferences, participation in more than 25 research projects, 11 contracts with companies and 2 patents. Two research stays, one at the University of Hamburg at the "Institute of Polymers and Compounds" and another at the Polytechnic University School of the Basque Country in the group "Materials + Technologies".
The main lines of research are focused on epoxy matrix composites with carbon nanofillers (carbon nanotubes and graphene) for process nanocomposites and multiscalar materials. She has experience in the manufactured optimization and the characterization of these materials and in the evaluation of their mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. The wear behaviour of these nanocomposites and their possible application as wear coatings on metal and composite substrates has been studied. Her latest most extensive research has been based on the manufacture and characterisation of multifunctional composite materials, based on the addition of carbon nanostructures in thermostable matrices, mainly epoxy. In this line the evolution has been marked by a first stage focused on the optimisation of the processing conditions of these materials towards the characterisation for applications of structural health monitoring, thermal dissipation, the Joule heating effect (de-icing, self-healing), among others. The last lines of research are the process of epoxy coatings with carbon nanostructures (graphene and nanotubes) with high wear resistance and anti-icing and de-icing properties for application in parts of wind turbines, airplanes or aircraft composites. And the processing of nanocomposites by additive manufacturing or 3D printing by Direct Write and DLP process.
With regard to her training capacity and educational skill, she has been a professor of
undergraduate and postgraduate studies since 2001 at the Rey Juan Carlos University, currently occupying the figure of Professor of the University. She was coordinator of Industrial Management Engineering from September 2011 to September 2019, at which point she became Director General for Academic Planning at the ESCET. She has been the supervisor of 2 doctoral theses, with currently 2 doctoral theses in progress. She has tutored 56 end-of-degree projects and 10
end-of-master projects from 2009 to date. She received aid for contracting a predoctoral researcher from the Community of Madrid in 2017 for 2 years. And she received another grant for contracting a laboratory technician for 3D printing
technologies, as part of the actions “Promoción del Empleo Juvenil 2018” of the "Secretaría de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación para técnico de laboratorio del Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades" in 2019. It was also for two years. Qualified by AENOR and ACIE as technical expert for the technical evaluation of I+D+i projects.
