Biography
Joaquín Rodríguez-López earned his bachelor's degree at Tecnológico de Monterrey, where he performed research in electrochemistry with Prof. Marcelo Videa (2005). Rodríguez-López then moved to Texas where he earned Ph.D. for Analytical Chemistry at the University of Texas at Austin (2010). He performed postdoctoral studies with Prof. Hector D. Abruña in Cornell University (2012). In August 2012, he came to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to start an Assistant Professor until June 2018, and he then became an Associate Professor at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Joaquin’s group combines interests in electroanalytical chemistry and energy materials by developing chemically-sensitive methods for studying ionic and electronic reactivity in nano-structures, highly-localized surface features, and ultra-thin electrodes. Joaquin’s group aspires to build a dynamic and diverse environment for research that generates original concepts for high-performance energy technologies.
