Lucia received her Masters in theoretical chemistry from the Universidad Autonoma Madrid. She is current working on artificial analogues of methane monooxygenase enzymes for dioxygen activation reactions through time-resolved X-ray absorption, emission and laboratory-based techniques with fs-ps temporal resolution. Lucia Velasco has participated in several specialization courses, including the synchrotron summer schools organized by Stanford. She has 3 scientific publications including PCCP, JACS and Chemical Science.
