Dr. Yolanda Cesteros graduated with a degree in Chemistry at the URV in 1993 and obtained a doctorate in Chemistry from the same university in 1997, with a research project on the catalytic hydrodechlorination of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene using supported Ni catalysts. In 1998, she did postdoctoral work in the research group of Professor Gary L. Haller at Yale University (USA). She has been full professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the URV since 2011 and head of the Catalytic Materials in Green Chemistry research group (GreenCat) since 2019. She was dean of the Faculty of Chemistry at URV from 2014 to 2022. She has more than 25 years of experience in the preparation and characterization of heterogenous catalysts to be applied in processes of industrial and environmental interest. In addition, she uses new technologies (microwaves and ultrasounds) for the synthesis of new nanomaterials with acidic, basic, or metallic properties with controlled particle size for their use as catalysts or catalytic supports. She has published more than 100 articles in international scientific journals, has presented more than 130 communications to congresses, has participated in more than 90 public and private financed projects, and has co-supervised 12 PhD theses.
