As Head of the Research & Innovation Department at Monolithos, I lead the company’s R&D strategy and coordinate applied research, process development, and technology upscaling activities across catalysis, hydrometallurgy, recycling, and sustainable materials. I manage multidisciplinary research teams and oversee the full innovation chain—from laboratory research and proof-of-concept to pilot-scale validation and industrial implementation—ensuring the technical quality, scalability, and industrial relevance of developed technologies. Research is something I have always wanted to pursue, and at Monolithos I work in a highly dynamic R&D environment where scientific curiosity is consistently translated into practical industrial solutions. I actively contribute to EU and national projects, working with academic and industrial partners, and supporting IP development and the translation of research outputs into exploitable technologies. This work has led to international recognition, including the Women in Energy Award 2023 (European Sustainable Energy Awards), and to active contribution within the scientific community as a Member of the Bulgarian Catalysis Society.

The significantly higher concentration of some metabolites (most commonly glucose) could affect the derivatization and quantification of other molecules, thus their selective filtering is desirable. Hydrogels are insoluble crosslinked polymer network structures composed of hydrophilic co- or homo-polymers which exhibit the ability to absorb significant amount of water. Molecular imprinting (MI) in hydrogels is a technique in which functional groups of the hydrogel are allowed to form a network around a template molecule. After the removal of the template molecule, cavities with specific recognition sites and size are generated for the preferential binding of the target over similar molecules.These materials are candidates for molecular recognition, drug delivery, highly specific catalysis, quantitative analysis and separation materials in conjunction with chromatographic techniques. We propose to combine the recognition capabilities of MI polymer hydrogels with GC-MS metabolomics to increase the resolution of the metabolic profiles.
The structures of the melt of the dicationic aprotic BisCH2MIm(NTf2)2 and protic BisHImCH2(NTf2)2 ionic liquids are investigated with infrared and Raman Spectroscopy at room temperature and above its melting point. The anion conformation shows in the melt of the dicationic ILs show similarities with the structure of the monocationic ones. On the other hand, although the dicationic ILs have double charge than then monovalent ones, the HBs in the melt show improper H-bonding behavior.
