About
Daura Vega-Moreno is a versatile researcher whose work spans two compelling and complementary domains: environmental analytical chemistry and educational technology. In the realm of marine science, her most-cited contribution — a 2018 study on miniaturised solid phase extraction (m-SPE) for detecting organic pollutants in seawater — demonstrates her commitment to developing greener, more efficient analytical methods that reduce solvent use while maintaining rigorous extraction quality, a paper that has garnered 12 citations. Alongside this environmental focus, Vega-Moreno has made notable strides in STEM education innovation, championing project-based learning through affordable robotics. Her 2016 work integrating low-cost educational robotics into secondary school settings, alongside earlier research on open-source hardware and software in classroom environments, reflects a deep dedication to transforming traditional pedagogy into collaborative, hands-on experiences. Her involvement in the EDUROV program — an internationally supported initiative developing underwater robotics education through institutions including PLOCAN and the University of Girona — further underscores her reach across both scientific and educational communities. Collectively, her publications highlight a researcher driven by practical impact, whether protecting ocean environments or inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers.
