Jonathan Albo is Associate Professor in the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department at the University of Cantabria (UC). His research trajectory has evolved from CO2 separation through its electrochemical conversion and, currently, to light-driven catalytic processes, including photo- and photoelectrocatalysis, with emphasis on innovative electrode architectures and optimized reactors for the production of value-added chemicals and energy carriers. He completed his PhD in Chemical Engineering at UC with a research stay at Nova University Lisbon, followed by a postdoctoral period at Hiroshima University, a Juan de la Cierva postdoc at the University of the Basque Country, a Ramón y Cajal Senior Researcher contract at UC, and he is currently visiting researcher at the University of Oxford.
He has published more than 70 articles in high-impact journals, has led and participated in over 30 competitive research projects, and has supervised multiple PhD theses, with 3 currently ongoing. He has been included in Stanford University's ranking of the top 2% scientists worldwide since 2020, and his work has been recognized with several awards, including the Juan López de Peñalver Medal from the Royal Academy of Engineering of Spain and the Young Researcher Award from the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry, among others. He is a member of the Editorial Boards of Chemical Engineering Journal (Elsevier), ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering (ACS), and Discover Chemical Engineering (Springer Nature), and regularly participates in scientific events, acts as referee for high-impact international journals, and participates on evaluation panels for research funding programs at both national and international level.
