Prof. Dr. Joaquín Silvestre-Albero is full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Alicante. He leads the Nanopore Group devoted to the design of nanomaterials (activated carbons, metal-organic frameworks - MOFs, zeolites) with tailored porous structure and surface chemistry to be applied in a wide range of processes such as gas adsorption, gas separation, drug delivery, catalysis, among others. He is co-author of 205 papers in internationally recognized journals (h index 56) and several book chapters. Furthermore, he leads many national, international and industrial projects. He is the coordinator of the Horizon Europe project CLEANWATER “Multifunctional sustainable adsorbents for water treatment assisted with plasma technologies and for health protection from xenobiotics”, and partner of Horizon projects WAVEE “Waste as Valuable Elements for Europe”, and MOST-H2 “Novel metal-organic framework adsorbents for efficient storage of hydrogen”. He is also COI of the spin-off company OMIX CIRCULAR TECHNOLOGIES.
