Dr. Juan Carlos Serrano-Ruiz, graduated in Chemistry (University of Granada, Spain, 2001) and PhD in Catalysis and Materials Science (University of Alicante, Spain, 2006). In 2007 he moved to Madrid to for a post-doc position at the Spanish National Council of Research (CSIC) and in 2008 he was awarded a 2 years Fulbright-MEC fellowship to conduct studies on catalytic biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals in Professor James Dumesic’s research group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA). Dr. Serrano-Ruiz is co-author of about 60 papers in SCI journals including one in Science (considered one of the 30 biggest chemical breakthroughs of the year according to Chemistry World), 5 book chapters, and a good number of high-impact reviews (Energy and Environmental Science, Chemical Society Reviews, Annual Reviews) on catalytic biomass conversion. Dr. Juan Carlos Serrano has an h index of 25 and accumulates nearly 3000 citations (90 % of them within the last 5 years). Since 2012, he works as a Senior Researcher at Abengoa Research, the R&D branch of the multinational company Abengoa developing technologies for advanced biofuels production via catalytic conversion of biomass, among other projects.
