Montserrat Iborra holds a degree in chemistry and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Barcelona (UB, Spain). Currently, she is Professor of Chemical Engineering at the same university, where she teaches courses on Introduction to Chemical Reaction Engineering and Multiphase Reactors, and coordinates the Teaching Innovation Group of Chemical Reaction Engineering. She is a member of the research group Catalysis and Applied Kinetics Group at the Faculty of Chemistry, UB. Her main research field is catalysis covering aspects of characterization and reactivity in acid–base and redox catalysts. She has devoted a special effort to the study of the synthesis reactions of oxygenates for commercial fuels reformulation: etherification of alcohols with olefins and dehydration of linear alcohols, as well as to the oligomerization of linear and branched olefins. Currently, her research interest is focused to the obtention of biofuels and fine chemicals from biomass-derived saccharides. Her expertise is in the use of acid ion exchange resins as catalysts and, more recently, in the application of metal supported ion exchange resins. She is coauthor of about 100 research papers, two books on Chemical Reaction Kinetics, and several works on teaching innovation in Chemical Engineering.
