Biography:
Jorge A. Delgado was born in Bogotá, Colombia in 1987. In 2009, he completed his undergraduate studies in chemistry at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and subsequently he moved to Spain to conduct postgraduate studies. In 2014, he concluded his PhD thesis at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarrragona (Spain) which dealt on the development of novel cobalt nanocatalysts for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Since 2015 he has a postdoctoral position at the Centre Tecnologic de la Química (CTQ) working in an industrial project sponsored by Total S.A. His research interests lie in the areas of transition metal nanoparticles for catalytic transformations with particular focus on synthetic fuels and energy technologies.
