Amparo received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering (2016) from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (Madrid, Spain), and her MSc in Biomedical Engineering -Neurotechnology- (2017) and PhD in Electrical Engineering (2021) from Imperial College London (London, UK).  In 2021 Amparo was awarded the 1851 Research Fellowship by the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 to continue her research as a postdoctoral researcher for three years at the University of Cambridge. In 2023 Amparo’s work has recognized with the Engineering Award from the L’Oréal-UNESCO UK and Ireland For Women in Science Rising Talent Programme, which encourages the contribution of women pursuing their research careers. In 2024 she was awarded the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Rosetrees Foundation Research fellowships to continue her work as a group leader at the Bioelectronics Lab.

As a researcher, Amparo’s interests lie at the intersection of organic bioelectronics and neurotechnology. The interdisciplinary nature of her work includes signal processing, biosensors, bioelectronics and electrophysiology to develop advanced systems to be integrated into a closed-loop platform aiming to improve metabolic control.
