LUIS GARCIA RIO

Luis Garcia Rio serves as a Professor within the Department of Physical Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Santiago de Compostela, where he contributes to academic and research initiatives in chemical sciences.

His educational foundation includes:

• Doctorate from the University of Santiago de Compostela (1993)
• Thesis: "Studies on the reactivity of nitroso compounds in water, organic solvents and microheterogeneous media"
• Supervised by Dr. José Ramón Leis Fidalgo and Dr. Emilia Iglesias Martinez

Research expertise spans fundamental chemical reactivity and catalytic processes, with emphasis on:

• Behavior of nitroso compounds in diverse media
• Reaction mechanisms in microheterogeneous systems
• Interfacial phenomena in catalysis

As a core member of the ReactyCat research group, his work integrates physical organic chemistry with practical catalytic applications. Scientific Awards:

• No awards specified in source documentation

Academic mentoring and grant activities remain undocumented in available materials, though his thesis supervision history indicates graduate student guidance. Laboratory engagement centers on the ReactyCat group's mission to advance reactivity and catalysis research through experimental and theoretical approaches.
