his research was focused on the electrolysis of industrial wastewater, trying to develop reactors that combined granular activated carbon adsorption and electrolysis. In 1999, he did a first postdoctoral training in the Lab of Prof. Comninellis (EPFL, Switzerland), where he was trained in electrochemical technology and he started working in electrolysis with boron doped diamond electrodes, one of the key topics in his research. In 2000, he was appointed as Associate Professor at the University of Castilla-La Mancha and expanded his research lines by starting to work on electrocoagulation and high temperature PEM fuel cells. Then, oxidants production, microbial fuel cells, soil electro-remediation, green powering of electrochemical devices and electrochemical volatile organic compounds gas treatment. A second training in the group of Prof Comninellis was carried out in 2003, this time, focused on electrocatalysis. In 2009, he was promoted to Full Professor in Chemical Engineering at the UCLM. From that moment on, he has working to consolidate a highly-competitive and internationally-minded research team, focused on the development of new and value-added applications of electrochemical engineering, with expertise in the frontiers between electrochemistry-energy and electrochemistry-environment and with a relevant transfer of knowledge to the industry. During these years, he has kept a strong consultant collaboration with many companies in energy and environmental engineering, and several private-financed projects. He has also opened joint research lines with different research groups all around the World, specially promoting collaborations with Latin-America groups. Prof Rodrigo is author of over 480 peer reviewed papers in high impact factor journal and books (>330 Q1 according to WoS), more than 80 technical reports for companies, 5 patents, and he has supervised 16 PhD theses and currently is supervising 8 more. H-index of 68 according to SCOPUS and more than 18000 citations (January 5th,2021).
