Ramiro Rafael Ruiz Rosas

BsC and MsC in Chemical Engineering at UMA (2006). He joined group TERMA in 2006, focusing in the preparation of carbon fibers from electrospun lignin. He was awarded with a FPI grant (2007-2011) that financed his PhD studies, including two research stays at Penn State (USA) and UNL (Portugal).  He got his PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2012 with the Thesis titled “Preparation of carbon and inorganic submicrofbers for Chemical Engineering Applications”, which was directed by Prof. Cordero and Prof. Rodriguez-Mirasol. Later, he joined MCMA group at Alicante University as postdoctoral researcher within an international research project for the development and functionalization of superporous carbon alloys for energy storage applications, which financed a research stay at IMRAM Institute of Tohoku University (Japan) during 2012. Later, he won a ‘Juan de la Cierva’ Postdoctoral fellowship (2014-2016) for the preparation and modification of the surface chemistry of porous carbon materials for environmental protection and energy storage applications. In 2018, he came back to UMA, rejoining TERMA group with a ‘Juan de la Cierva – Incorporación’ research contract.
