José Palomar graduates in BSc on Chemistry in 1996 at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Physical Chemistry. He holds his PhD in Science at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 2000, doing a postdoctoral stay at Florida State University (U.S.A). In 2001, he joined to Chemical Engineering Section/Department in UAM. The emergent group led by the tutor investigator, Prof. José Palomar, promotes, since 2007, new research lines focused on the development of knowledge and practical applications of ionic liquids (ILs), such as: i) CO2 capture by IL-based systems; ii) Design of catalytic systems for the CO2 conversion; iii) Development of advanced materials based on ILs with specific properties; iv) Treatment of gaseous contaminants by absorption with ILs; and v) Integration of molecular and process simulation computational tools for the conceptual design of industrial applications based on ILs. A multiscale research strategy -developed by a team of experts in molecular design, material science, environmental engineering and process simulation- is applied to the analysis of IL-based systems evolving gas-liquid, liquid-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces and their potential application to new sustainable processes.
