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.
