Bio
Alex Fragoso (Havana, Cuba, 1970) obtained BSc (1993) and PhD (1999) degrees in Chemistry from the University of Havana, receiving the Cuban National Award of Chemistry for Young Researchers (1999) for the results of my thesis work. He has been Research Associate (2000-2002) and Assistant Professor (2003-2004) at the University of Havana. After a postdoctoral stay with Javier de Mendoza and Prof. Pilar Prados at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (2004-2006), he joined the Department of Chemical Engineering of Universitat Rovira i Virgili in 2006 as a ‘Ramón y Cajal’ Research Professor and was promoted to a tenured faculty position in 2011. His research interests are in the development of novel methods for surface manipulation at the nanometric scale, the application of supramolecular chemistry and electrochemistry in bioanalysis, and the development of novel nanomaterials for environmental and energy applications.
