Dannisa joined Prof. Emilio Martinez-Pañeda's group, the Mechanics of Material Lab, in January 2024 as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. She is based in Oxford's Department of Engineering Science, in the Jenkin building. Dannisa obtained her PhD in Materials Science and Technology from Instituto Sabato in 2022. Since then, she has worked as an experimental postdoctoral researcher in corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement within the Materials Department at the Argentinean Atomic Energy Commission.
Her research at the Mechanics of Materials Lab focuses on understanding how hydrogen affects the fracture toughness of pipeline steels and their welds.
