Jonathan Albo (ORCID: 0000-0001-6781-5704) has focused his research on the development of CCU technologies, aimed at mitigating CO2 impacts from fossil fuels and promoting the transition to a low-carbon economy. During his research career, he first addressed the separation of CO2, then its transformation into value-added chemicals, and currently, he leads his own research line in the design and analysis of light-driven processes for the continuous conversion of CO2 and water splitting in optimized photo(electro)catalytic reactors.
He graduated from Rey Juan Carlos University, Madrid. Subsequently, he carried out his doctoral thesis in Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Cantabria, Santander. After the dissertation defence, he obtained a postdoctoral JSPS fellowship to continue his research at Hiroshima University (2013). In 2014, he joined the University of the Basque Country, Bilbao, thanks to Juan de la Cierva postdoctoral programme. He then rejoined the University of Cantabria as a Ramón y Cajal Senior Researcher (2016-2022) where he is currently Associate Professor in the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department. His main research interests are in the field of electro-, photo- and photoelectro-catalysis to obtain value-added chemicals, which he develops in collaboration with international researchers and thanks to several ongoing funded research projects.
