Adrian Sanchez Fernandez

Adrian Sanchez Fernandez is a Ramón y Cajal Researcher at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela (USC). His academic roles include teaching Biochemical Engineering, Fluid Flow Laboratory and Heat Transfer, and Separation Operations across multiple academic years. He leads the Systems Chemistry and Supramolecular Functional Chemistry research group, focusing on supramolecular systems, surfactant behavior, and protein interactions in non-aqueous solvents. His research integrates biochemical engineering principles with advanced materials science.

Research interests center on deep eutectic solvents, protein stability, and self-assembly mechanisms in confined systems. He investigates how molecular design (e.g., isomerism, surfactant tailoring) influences material properties like rheology and micelle formation. Recent work explores applications in biomimetic systems, protein preservation, and colloidal dynamics in extreme conditions.

His articles highlight interdisciplinary contributions to understanding surfactant-solvent-protein interactions, with notable studies on hydration effects, anionic/nonionic surfactant synergies, and sugar-based surfactant dynamics. Despite no explicitly listed awards, his Ramón y Cajal status underscores his research excellence. He actively advises no recorded students but contributes to teaching and lab supervision within USC's Chemical Engineering programs.
