Dr Juan Carlos Colmenares Q. graduated from Warsaw University of Technology (Chem.Eng.1995) and obtained his M.Sc. (1997) in Catalysis for Organic Technology and Ph.D. (2004) in Chemical and Material Sciences from the same university. His interests range from materials science, nanotechnology and heterogeneous catalysis to biomass/CO2 valorisation, solar chemicals, sonication, photocatalysis and water/air purification. After his Ph.D. he worked at the University of Cordoba, Spain (2005-2006) in Prof. Marinas group as a post-doctoral fellow and at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles (USA) (2006-2009) in Prof. G.A. Olah (Nobel Prize in Chemistry) group as a post-doctoral research associate. He is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow. He is serving as expert evaluator for many important scientific journals/institutions and member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Sustainable Chemical Processes journal (Chemistry Central). He has co-authored more than 40 works in international specialized journals/books, filed two patent applications and has supervised Chem.Eng., M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses.
