Director of the Consolidated Research Unit recognised by the Junta de Castilla y León UIC080 and the UVASens research group, María Luz Rodríguez Méndez is part of the list of the World’s Top 2% Scientists recently published by Stanford University.

She began her work in the field of sensors during her post-doctoral training at the University of Windsor (Canada), which she completed with stays at various universities in France, Italy and Germany.

Since 1996 she has dedicated her research to the development of new nanostructured sensors for food analysis and their use in electronic noses and tongues, work which is carried out through public funding and in collaboration with the food industry (15 projects funded by companies in the last 5 years).

This novel concept of sensors modified with electrocatalytic nanomaterials has enabled him to publish more than 170 papers in prestigious indexed journals, which have been widely cited by the international scientific community.

She is the author of 14 books or book chapters and 3 patents and has given more than 30 lectures at international conferences. She has also supervised or co-directed 11 doctoral theses, 3 of them with extraordinary prizes.

Visiting professor at the universities of Pisa, Firenze and Lecce (Italy), Metz and Clermont-Ferrand (France) and at the Universidade Estadual Paulista (Brazil), where she collaborates in teaching and research, María Luz Rodríguez Méndez is also coordinator of the interuniversity Master in Nanoscience and Molecular Nanotechnology at UVa and has been founder and first director of the Chair Brazil-University of Valladolid.

She is also the promoter of the Castilla y León Women Researchers’ Conference, an activity that she has chaired for 10 years and whose objective is to give visibility to research carried out by women and to attract young women to research in Science and Technology.

The Hypatias project, promoted by the equality unit of the University of Valladolid, aims to give visibility to women with an impact in their fields of work. To know what roles they play, what social and personal challenges they have achieved and what barriers they have encountered to reach the position they are in now. The importance of giving visibility to women in fields that historically and socially have a differentiated masculine character, also trying to encourage the rest of women, in our case, belonging to the university community either as students or professionals, to follow their dreams and set out to achieve goals that perhaps they believe impossible because they are women. The visibility of these refuted women will generate a space for dialogue and knowledge in order to empower the female collective.

Mª Luz Rodríguez Méndez, Inorganic Chemistry Full Professor at the Industrial Engineering School of the University of Valladolid and director of the UVaSens research group, was selected to be interviewed by Cristina González Pedraz: PhD in Journalism. Journalist at the DiCYT-Fundación 3CIN Agency.

The “7th world congress of the Digital Olfaction Society (DOS)”, organized by the Digital Olfaction Society, will be held on November 29-30 in Tokyo (Japan) in face-to-face and online mode. The aim of this congress is to establish the international link related to digital olfaction among a variety of fields such as biology, medicine, computer science, electronics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, psychology, art, etc.

The UVaSens director, Mª Luz Rodríguez Méndez has been invited to give a lecture entitled: Electronic Noses and Tongues for Food Processing.

This event is a great opportunity to share innovations in the world of digital olfaction with players in this particular field.
