Prof. Dr. Juan Manuel Lázaro-Martínez obtained his degree in Biochemistry in 2005 at Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica (FFyB), Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). Then, he obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2011 (UBA), working on the “Synthesis and Characterization of New Polymeric Materials with Environmental Applications”. Currently, he is a Professor of Organic Chemistry (FFyB-UBA) at the Department of Chemistry and an independent researcher for The National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) at the "Instituto de Química y Metabolismo del Fármaco" (IQUIMEFA-UBA-CONICET). His research project combines the synthesis, characterization, and environmental applications of novel copper and cobalt complexes with imidazole/pyridine ligands bearing either gem-diol or carbonyl moieties, as well as polymeric material/hydrogels or copper-organoclays. His main experience relates to the structural characterization of a broad kind of organic/inorganic materials (small molecules, metal complexes, and polymeric materials) by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and single-crystal X-ray crystallography and their uses in advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for the remediation of wastewater. He received an award from the Argentine Research Society on Organic Chemistry (SAIQO) and The Luis Federico Leloir Prize for the best PhD thesis in chemistry in Argentina in 2011. He has been a member of SAIQO and the American Chemical Society since 2006 and 2016, respectively.
