Hello! I’m Manila. Welcome to my space!
By profession, I’m a researcher and currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow based at ICN2, Barcelona, looking into sustainable ways to convert harmful gases into useful fuels and chemicals using renewable energy. However, I’m also more than my research. I enjoy supporting early-career researchers, and I share personal reflections on books, culture, experiences, and anything that goes into my life inside and outside the lab.
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my space. I hope you’ll find something.
