Mª de la Luz Martín (Algeciras, 1967). Degree in Chemistry from the University of Granada (1990). She began her professional activity in the company Acerinox, forming part of the I+D department and collaborating in different national and international research projects.
In 1994 she enters the University of Cadiz in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Food Technology, being currently a university lecturer (2011). Her doctoral thesis "Models for the prediction of atmospheric pollutants in the Bay of Algeciras" helped the knowledge of different tools of artificial intelligence for its application in the quantitative prediction and episodes of pollution in the area of the Campo de Gibraltar.
As a result of this research, she has published articles indexed in the ISI Journal Citation Report (JCR), as well as presented contributions to national and international conferences. She has also participated as a reviewer of scientific articles in high impact journals. She has collaborated in different contracts and research projects of national scope related to prediction tools. She currently has a six-year contract (2015).
She has held various management positions at the University of Cadiz: Secretary of the Centre (2000-2003), Assistant Director of Academic Planning and Educational Innovation (2004-2008) and Assistant Director of Degrees and Quality (2008-2012). She has been a member of the Quality Council of the University of Cadiz (2008-2011) and the Technical Commission for the implementation of the Quality Assurance System of the UCA (2009). She is director of the Departmental Section of Chemical Engineering and Food Technology at the Polytechnic School of Algeciras and since 2017 she is responsible for the research group TEP 109 Tensioactivity and Alternative or Renewable Energies. She is currently Director of the Acerinox Business Chair, a position she has held since 2006.
