Santiago Gómez Ruiz

Dr. Santiago Gómez-Ruiz received his Ph.D. in Organometallic Chemistry in 2004 from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC), Spain. He completed a predoctorial Marie Curie Training Site Fellow at University of Leipzig (Germany) and a postdoctoral research stay as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow (2006-2007), and at the same institution. Currently, he is a Full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at URJC and leads the research group "COMET-NANO," recognized as a high-output research group at URJC.

Over the last decade, his scientific achievements have centered on the design of advanced materials with photocatalytic applications in energy and environment, and the development of novel therapeutic nanomaterials. His work has led to over 195 publications in high-impact international journals, with significant contributions to the fields of Chemistry and Materials Science. Notably, he has been included in some of the yearly editions of Stanford University's list of Top 2%-researchers.

Dr. Gómez-Ruiz has been the principal investigator of numerous national and international projects, including those funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. Some of his notable projects include TANATOS (PDC2023-145884-I00), ROS-FUN (PID2022-136417NB-I00), and VOLUPIA (TED2021-132175B-I00) among others. His research has also led to the development of innovative materials for environmental and biomedical applications, including a patent on copper double salt nanocompounds (WO/2021/005255).

In addition to his research, Prof. Gómez-Ruiz is committed to knowledge transfer and has supervised numerous Ph.D. theses, Erasmus students, and final year projects. He has also been an invited speaker at prestigious conferences and universities worldwide, sharing his expertise in nanomaterials and their applications.
