Daniel Martín-Yerga joined the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science at Aalto University (Finland) as an Assistant Professor in January 2025, where he leads the Electrochemical Materials and Applications research group. Before, he was a Group Leader and Research Fellow at the (Finland) since September 2023. He completed his PhD in Physical and Analytical Chemistry at the (Spain) in 2016, focusing on the design of nanomaterials for electrochemical sensing. After a period in industry (), Daniel transitioned back to academia by embarking on a postdoctoral period at the in Sweden. He made notable contributions to the development of electrocatalytic materials for the valorisation of biomass-based chemicals and green hydrogen production. Daniel undertook a second postdoctoral position at the (UK). Initially funded by a project and later supported by a prestigious from the European Commission, he pioneered high-throughput electrochemical microscopy approaches to study materials for batteries and energy conversion technologies.
Daniel’s significant contributions to the field of electrochemical materials science have been recognised through several awards. For instance, he has received the two most prestigious awards for Spanish young researchers in Electrochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, from the and the , respectively.
