José J. Segovia, Professor of Thermodynamics (2011). PhD in Engineering (1997)– University of Valladolid. He started in Spanish National Research Centre on Energy, Environment and Technology, where he focused on projects related to the revalorization of biomass. Since 1994, he belongs to the University of Valladolid. His recent research interests focus on the measurement of the thermophysical and phase equilibria properties of fluid mixtures, incorporating applied thermodynamics and apparatus development. Current studies include:  the phase behaviour, density, heat capacity and viscosity of fluids at high temperatures and pressures; the speed of sound and derived thermodynamic properties of gases. He has carried out more than 30 projects and has published more than 100 papers with a high impact factor in those fields.

M. Carmen Martín, Professor of Thermodynamics (2002). Since her PhD studies (PhD in Chemistry in the University of Valladolid 1992), her research has focused on the measurement and modelling of vapor-liquid equilibria and calorimetry. She has been involved in 30 R+D+i competitive projects and has published over 90 papers in high impact factor journals. Her current research is related to the thermophysical characterization of amine solutions for carbon capture and of biofuels.

Alejandro Moreau is a Senior Research Fellow. He specialises in phase behaviour and  thermophysical properties of 1) biofuels (gases and liquids) and 2) liquid solvents for Carbon Capture. He also undertakes fundamental research in metrology.  He obtained his Engineering PhD with European mention at the University of Valladolid in 2015, winning the Best Engineering Thesis Prize. He broadened his research interests joining the University Blaise Pascal immediately after graduation, working on carbon capture under the sponsorship of the French Ecology Transition Agency partnering with ArcelorMittal. Thereafter he spent a year working at Imperial College London deploying his knowledge in improving enhance oil recovery processes. Alejandro decided to have a year experience within the Industry,  carrying out mechanical reliability test for diesel and petrol engines in Safran Engineering Services at Renault R&D in 2018.  He resumed his academic career joining TermoCal as a Senior Research Fellow. He currently designs and commissions new equipment aimed at gathering high-accuracy measurements under challenging conditions. He has published 15 papers in high impact factor journals and collaborated in 10 National and International research projects.

Xavier Paredes is a Research Fellow ‘María Zambrano’. He holds a PhD in Engineering (2012). His academic career has taken him to the Department of Soil and Water Sciences of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Rehovot Campus, studying flow in porous media. After applying for a postdoctoral fellowship of the Portuguese “Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia”, he started working at the “Centro de Química Estrutural”, a research unit of the University of Lisbon. His work there was once again related to the measurement of thermophysical properties, in this case of ionic liquids, either pure, in mixtures with water and also with nanoparticles, in the search for new heat transfer fluids for use in future heat exchangers, as well as the search for new working pairs for  absorption refrigeration.
