Biography: Jorge A. Delgado is a research scientist in the field of advanced materials and heterogenous catalysis. He was born in Bogotá, Colombia. In 2009, he completed his undergraduate studies in chemistry at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and subsequently he moved to Tarragona, Spain to conduct postgraduate studies. In 2014, he concluded a PhD thesis on the field of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili under the supervision of Prof. Cyril Godard and Prof. Carmen Claver. During 2015 and 2017 he worked at the Centre Tecnologic de la Química (CTQ) in Tarragona, as a postdoctoral researcher in a project sponsored by Total S.A. focused on selective hydrogenation reactions. In 2017 and 2018 he developed activities of associated professor at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili and associate researcher at EURECAT. His research interests lie in the areas of nanoscience, advance materials, unconventional catalytic approaches, transformation of small molecules and technologies for sustainable applications.
