Dr. Laura Rodríguez Silva graduated in Chemistry from the Central University of Venezuela in 1990 and earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Zaragoza, Spain, in 1996. Her doctoral research specialized in Organometallic Chemistry, focusing on the synthesis and reactivity of rhodium and iridium complexes with alkynes, hydrogen, and organometallic reagents (Si, Sn, Ge derivatives). This work significantly advanced the understanding of hydrosilylation and hydrostannation catalytic reactions, with results published extensively in prominent journals such as Organometallics. Since 1997, Dr. Rodríguez Silva has held various academic and research positions at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), demonstrating extensive teaching experience and a robust research profile. She has authored or co-authored numerous scientific papers published in leading journals including Organometallics, Inorganic Chemistry, Dalton Transactions, and Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, and has presented over 40 communications at national and international conferences. In 2000, she was a visiting researcher at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Oxford. Throughout her career, Dr. Rodríguez Silva has supervised more than 60 graduate students' research projects and directed multiple doctoral theses.
