EVA RODIL RODRIGUEZ

EVA RODIL RODRIGUEZ is a Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Higher Technical School of Engineering, University of Santiago de Compostela. She earned her doctorate in 1999 with a thesis on thermodynamics of alcohol-ether mixtures and extractive distillation using 1-butanol. Her research focuses on sustainable separation processes, ionic liquids, nanomaterial synthesis, and environmental sustainability. She leads the EQUIFASE research group, specializing in innovative separation technologies and green chemistry applications.

Her educational background includes advanced studies in chemical engineering and over two decades of academic and research experience. Key research areas include chemical engineering fundamentals, bioresource utilization (e.g., gelatin from tuna skin), nanotechnology for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants using ionic liquid-based systems.

Publications emphasize ionic liquid applications in separation processes, lignin depolymerization, and nanoparticle synthesis for environmental and energy solutions. While no awards are explicitly listed, her work aligns with major trends in sustainable chemistry and green engineering. She collaborates on projects involving material science, biorefineries, and process optimization.

Her lab, EQUIFASE, explores interdisciplinary approaches to chemical engineering challenges, with a focus on industrial sustainability and novel material development.
