Julian Alonso Chamarro

Julian Alonso-Chamarro is a Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Barcelona's Department of Chemistry, leading the Sensors and Biosensors Research Group. He holds a PhD from the UAB (1987) and has been active in research since 1981. His work focuses on microfabrication technologies for biomedical, environmental, and aerospace applications, emphasizing Lab-on-a-Chip systems and ceramic microreactors. He has coordinated over 20 research projects, including collaborations with ESA and private firms, and holds patents on sensors for clinical and environmental use.

• Education: BSc (1981), PhD (1987) in Analytical Chemistry (UAB)
• Roles: Principal Investigator in 36 projects, evaluator for ANEP/ACSUCYL, member of ANECA Accreditation Commission

Research interests span electrochemical/optical sensors, low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC), and microfluidic systems. His lab develops disposable biosensors, POC devices, and analytical instrumentation for biomedical and environmental diagnostics. Recent work includes automated ammonia analyzers and 3D-printed microfluidic systems.

• Awards: 6 research recognition periods, 3 PhD special prizes, and 26 Cum Laude supervised theses

Key projects include Lab-on-Chip systems for aerospace (2018–2021), biosensors for metabolic disorders (2019–2021), and ESA-funded space applications. His group collaborates internationally, focusing on sustainability and industrial process control.
