Alfonso Fernández González got his BSc in Chemistry in 1997 at the University of Oviedo, and his MSc in Analytical Chemistry in 1999. Afterwards, he completed PhD studies at the same University in 2003 in the field of luminescence and optical sensors, and then moved to the Dresden University of Technology in Germany (Technische Universität Dresden) where he spent two years working in Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging. Later on, he moved to the Spanish National Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and finally incorporated to the University of Oviedo where he has hold different positions as researcher, scientific support technic, adjunct professor, assistant professor and associate professor. He is very active in Science Communication, developing workshops and talks in different centers and acting as consultant for the Scientific Culture Unit of the University of Oviedo for several years. He is a regular participant in the activities of the European Researchers Night of his University. On the other hand, he has interacted with different local industries within the region including cellars, energy and industrial R&D providers. Regarding research projects, he was involved in twelve different research projects and three Science Communication Projects. His main research topics are molecular recognition for analytical chemistry, luminescence, fluorescence, room temperature phosphorescence, optical sensors, carbon dots and pattern-recognition tools (AI) for analytical chemistry.
