Born in 1970 in Madrid, Eva M. Maya is currently Tenured Research at the Institute of Polymer Science and Technology at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid.

She received her Ph.D. (1999) at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Prof. T. Torres) working on the synthesis of phthalocyanines and related compounds. During this time she spent short periods of time at Eberhard-Karls Universität in Tübingen (Germany) working with Prof. M. Hanack, and at Eidgenössische Technische Hochshule, ETH, in Zürich (Switzerland) working with Prof. F. Diederich.

She was two years (1999-2001) as postdoctoral research at the US-Naval Research Laboratory (Washington DC, USA) (Dr. A. Snow) working on Optical Limiting Materials and Low Dielectric Resins, and during this period she attended the course “Experto Universitario en Plásticos y Cauchos” at UNED. In 2002 she joined the Institute of Polymer Science and Technology at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid working on the synthesis of polyamides and polyimides containing ether crown moieties for gas separation as a postdoctoral fellow and in 2003 she was receiving a Ramón & Cajal contract at the same institution, to work on aromatic polyimide membranes for gas purification. In 2007 she was appointed to the staff of the CSIC as a Tenured Researcher.

Dra. Maya has published 35 papers, 4 patents and she is currently supervising three Ph.D. students. She has been present at 33 conferences giving more than 15 oral presentations. At present, she is working on three research lines: chemical modification of polyimides to improve gas separation properties; preparation of partially pyrolyzed membranes (PPM) for gas separation properties and in the synthesis of porous polymers to anchor catalysts.

From 2007 Dra. Maya is the organizer of practices, visits and conferences of the Advanced Specialization Master in Plastics and Rubber at ICTP-CSIC.
