During the degree of Chemical Engineering coursed at The University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Ane Etxebarria was granted with a TASSEP (Trans-Atlantic Science Student Exchange Program) fellowship to spend half of the last year in McMaster University, Canada. After that, she realized the final year project at UPV/EHU in the department of Chemical Technologies for Environmental Sustainability. This project was focused on getting a catalyst that will purify a hydrogen flow to use it in fuel cells. Once finished the degree (July 2014), she joined CIC energiGUNE with a summer internship, where she continued doing the project of New Materials master (UPV/EHU and the University of Cantabria) on the field of surface characterization in lithium metal electric batteries. She started the PhD in same topic in January 2016, at Surface and Interface group of CIC Energigune under the supervision of Dr. Miguel Ángel Muñoz-Márquez. Her PhD project was supported by four years pre-doctoral fellowship from the Basque Government. One of these four years was carried out in Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, at the Advanced Light Source synchrotron facility in the team of Dr. Ethan Crumlin, thanks to one of the ALS Doctoral fellowship in residence. During the PhD, she was able to study both surface and interface of lithium metal when interacting with atmospheric gases and in solid state batteries, principally using spectroscopic techniques.
