is an Independent Researcher at CONICET (2006-) and CNEA Researcher at Gerencia Química-CAC. His areas of expertise are chemical synthesis and property studies of porous materials and the study of solid-liquid interfaces. He is Licenciate (MSs) in Chemistry (1998, UBA) and obtained his PhD from UBA (2002, Chemistry) for which he obtained the "Hans J. Schumacher" award to the Best Thesis on the Physicochemical area. Afterwards, he took part in a post doctoral project with Prof. Paul V. Braun at the Dept. of Materials, Science & Engineering of the University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign, where he specialized in colloidal mesoporous particles synthesis (2003-2006). Since 2006 he works as a researcher in Gerencia Química (CNEA-CAC) at the Departament Chemistry Applications and Fundamental Studies. Has led several national projects, one doctoral thesis and several postdoctoral researchers. Has published near 40 scientific reports from electrochemistry, oxide mesoporous materials synthesis, transport and diffusion in confined environment and luminescent sensors.
