Dr. Rogero obtained her Bachelor of Science in Physics at the Autónoma University of Madrid in 1998 and the PhD in 2003 at the same university, under the supervision of Prof. José Ángel Martín Gago. His doctoral thesis was Honored by Royal Academy of Doctors of Spain (2003-2004) and the Special Prize of the Autónoma University of Madrid. In 2004 moved to the Department of Chemistry of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, where he did a first postdoc and in 2006 he started a second postdoctoral stay at the Astrobiology Center in Madrid, CAB (INTA-CSIC). Since October 2009, she is Tenured Scientist at the Materials Physics Center (CSIC-UPV / EHU) in San Sebastian.
Her work has been always related to experimental Surface Science, mainly on the structural, electronic and physico chemical properties of interfaces of metal-semiconductor (insulator)materials. Her work has evolved from pure inorganic metal-semiconductor interfaces, towards the characterization of organic molecules on metals and, more recently, on semiconductors and insulating substrates. Her interest does not focus solely on the analysis of the atomic structure and electronic molecular layers, but also on the understanding of the chemical changes that occur when the molecules interact with the substrates. The reactivity of the molecules, as well as the catalytic properties of the surfaces have been, and they are now, their main lines of research. Her actual main research lines are:
In parallel to her research activity, has been very active in toutreach activities, such as public lectures, meetings with students, debate events, "Science Week". From 2015 to 2017 she was responsible for outreach at the Center Physics of Materials.
