Full profile:
Dr Alejandro Criado received his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry (2013) at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). From 2013 to 2020, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Trieste and CICbiomaGUNE research center. In 2021, he started his independent research career as Distinguished Researcher at CICA – Interdisciplinary Center of Chemistry and Biology at Universidade da Coruña, co-leading NanoSelf group. Currently, he is a Ramon y Cajal Assistant Professor at Chemistry Department at Universidade da Coruña. His research interests focus on the new methods for modifying low-dimensional materials to tailor their properties, along with the development of graphene-based sensors.
In summary, his research has had a major impact on the field, contributing with new synthetic procedures to prepare particular aromatic structures, novel methodologies to modify CNMs and related nanomaterials, and outstanding devices to detect several biomarkers.
