Eduard Serra Hosta

Eduard Serra Hosta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at IQS School of Engineering, Universitat Ramon Llull. He also serves as the Head of the Thermal Analysis Laboratory. His research spans thermal analysis, calorimetry, risk assessment, and process safety in industrial chemistry.

• PhD in Industrial Engineering, Institut Químic de Sarrià – Universitat Ramon Llull (1999)
• Industrial Engineer, Institut Químic de Sarrià – Universitat Ramon Llull (1993)
• Chemical Engineer, Institut Químic de Sarrià (1993)

His research interests include thermal stability of chemical products and nanomaterials, process intensification in fine chemistry, numerical simulation of industrial processes, waste recovery, and prevention of occupational hazards. He applies calorimetric techniques and kinetic modeling to assess thermal risks in chemical synthesis and storage.

His recent publications reflect a strong focus on thermal decomposition kinetics, autocatalytic reactions, and process simulation. These works contribute significantly to the fields of chemical safety and sustainable process design, often involving collaborations within the GQF and GEPROS research groups.

• Active participant in GQF – Pharmaceutical Chemistry Group
