Manuel A. Rodrigo holds a degree in Industrial Chemistry from the University of Valencia (Spain) and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Valencia (Spain). In 1997, he joined the University of Castilla La Mancha (UCLM) as an Assistant Professor and in 2009 he was promoted to Full Professor.

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 has an h-index of 68 according to SCOPUS and more than 18000 citations. He has presented more than 400 communications in national and international meetings including more than 50 keynotes.

Prof Rodrigo was editor of the Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering from 2011 to 2016 and, currently, he belongs to the Editorial Board of Journals such as Separation & Purification Technology, Journal of Hazardous Materials and Journal of Applied Electrochemistry.

In 2020 he received the Trajectory Award of the Group of Chemical Engineering of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry.
