Rodrigo Soto has held a lecturer position on Chemical Engineering at the University of Barcelona (UB) since 2021. He holds a BsC on Chemical Engineering (2011), an MSc on Environmental Engineering (2012), a MSc on University Teaching (2017) and a European PhD on Engineering and Advanced Technologies (2017), all from the UB. He worked as a post-doctoral researcher from 2017–2020 and as Research Fellow from 2020–2021 for the University of Limerick (Ireland). Since 2013, he has been involved in several research projects with important chemical and pharmaceutical companies (Repsol YPF, Dow Chemical Co., Astellas Pharmaceuticals and Clarochem Ltd) and collaborated with different universities and research centers (Gazi & METU Universities (Turkey), KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Diamond Light Source (Oxford, UK) and Catalan Institute for Research Energy (Spain)). He has published 25 research papers in top scientific journals and participated in about 33 international conferences. The production of renewable sources of energy and biomaterials based on sustainable production processes defines his professional leitmotifs. Chemical reactor engineering, heterogeneous catalysis, reaction thermodynamics and kinetics, pharmaceutical compounds manufacturing, crystallization (nucleation and crystal growth kinetics), solution thermodynamics and solid phase characterization by advanced techniques are his main areas of expertise.
