Lucia completed her BSc and PhD in Chemistry at McMaster University, working under the guidance of Prof. I. Vargas-Baca. Her doctoral research focused on developing oligomeric systems utilizing main group secondary bonding interactions.
In 2017, she embarked on her first postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, where she explored the applications of these interactions in ion transport. Following her time in Geneva, Lucia joined the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. There, she expanded her research scope to include the study of MRI imaging probes and nanomaterials.
Her current research interests center on fundamental studies of main group supramolecular interactions.
