Biography

Gustavo Chacón is a motivated young researcher passionated by catalytic processes and green chemistry. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Zulia, Venezuela, graduating "cum laude" through a fellowship with the Venezuelan Institute of Scientific Research and the University Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France. During his Ph.D., he contributed to the field by developing efficient homogeneous and colloidal transition metal catalysts, utilizing phosphine ligands and ionic liquids for organic synthesis. From 2015 to 2023, Dr. Chacón worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Professor Jairton Dupont in Brazil. His research focused on advancing the development of innovative multifunctional catalysts based on ionic liquids, with a particular emphasis on driving alternative energy technologies such as CO2 conversion and H2 production, collaborating with PETROBRAS. From 2021 to 2023, he was a researcher at the Brazilian Petroleum and Energy Agency, undertaking academic-industrial projects centered on catalytic hybrid materials and the comprehensive analysis of multi-step processes. Since May 2023, Dr. Chacón has been a researcher for the ComFuturo/MSCA program, financed by the FGCSIC and supported by CEPSA at ITQ in Valencia, Spain. He explicitly focuses on nanostructured hybrid materials to develop alternative energy sources in his current role. Dr. Chacón's activity extends beyond his research work, with active participation in teaching activities as an invited professor in Chile and strong collaborations in Brazil and Venezuela. From a technical standpoint, he comprehensively understands state-of-the-art materials and surface characterization techniques acquired through hands-on experience. As a researcher, he exemplifies an exemplary work ethic, unwavering dedication to his field, project management skills, and outstanding communication abilities. Moreover, he mentors and trains staff members and thrives in a collaborative laboratory environment.
