Author Biographies

María Cecilia Gimenez obtained her degree in Chemistry in 1998 from the Facultad de Ciencias Químicas (FCQ), Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), Argentina. She obtained her Ph.D. in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry in 2004 under the supervision of Professor E. P. M. Leiva. She completed a postdoctoral stay in San Luis under the supervision of Professor Antonio J. Ramirez-Pastor, working on topics related to computational simulations of adsorption on surfaces and percolation, and another postdoc in Ulm, Germany, with an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship. Since 2010, she has been a Professor at the Facultad de Matemática, Astronomía, Física y Computación (FAMAF), UNC. She currently holds the position of Investigador Independiente (Independent Researcher) in the CONICET career track, working in the Laboratorio de Energías Sustentables (Sustainable Energies Laboratory) at FAMAF, UNC.
Oscar A. Oviedo obtained his degree in Chemistry in 2004 from the Facultad de Ciencias Químicas (FCQ), Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), Argentina. He obtained his Ph.D. in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry in 2008 under the supervision of Professor E. P. M. Leiva. He is currently an independent researcher at CONICET, working at the INFIQC, where he leads a developing group focused on theoretical and computational nanoelectrochemistry models. Since 2005, he has been employed as a university lecturer, currently serving as an Associate Professor in the Department of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry at FCQ-UNC. Since 2024, he has also served as the Director of this department. He has contributed to the publication of over 40 peer-reviewed scientific papers, 8 book chapters, and 2 books, including "Underpotential Deposition: From Fundamentals and Theory to Applications at the Nanoscale," published in 2016.
Ezequiel Leiva holds a PhD in Physical Chemistry from the National University of Córdoba(UNC), Argentina, and is a Senior Researcher at CONICET (National Council of Science and Technology). He is now an emeritus professor of the UNC and has published more than 230 papers in international journals, 18 book chapters and a book. He received the Rafael Labriola Award (Argentine Chemical Association), the 2023 Konex Award in Science and Technology, and the Agustín Arévalo Award from SIBAE (Sociedad Iberoamericana de Electroquímica). He is the manager of the computational simulation project at the Sustainable Energy Laboratory at the UNC.
