M.A.·佩尼亚

Miguel A. Peña received his M.Sc. in chemistry in 1985 from the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain. He obtained his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1990 at the same University, working under the supervision of Dr. L. González Tejuca and Prof. J. L. G. Fierro at the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry (CSIC). From 1990 to 1993, he was working under contract in a project of oxidative coupling of methane funded by REPSOL (the largest Spanish oil and Petrochemistry Company). At the end of this period, he got a staff position of researcher in the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry that is his current status. In 1996-1997 he was a Visiting Scholar in the group of Prof. A. Varma, at the University of Notre Dame (USA). Currently, he is Secretary of the Hydrogen Spanish Association. His research interests are focused mainly in catalytic processes for clean energy production, specifically in catalytic applications of perovskite oxides (PhD dissertation), natural gas conversion, catalytic combustion, C1 chemistry, catalytic membrane reactors, hydrogen production, and fuel cell catalysts. Inside the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry, he is also one of the persons in charge of the Service of X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
