Rafael Teodoro Alcalde Garcia

Rafael Teodoro Alcalde Garcia serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Burgos, Spain, with a career focused on experimental and computational physical chemistry.

His academic background includes:

• PhD in Chemistry, University of Valladolid (1994), thesis: "Thermophysical properties of binary liquid mixtures of amides with water and n-alcohols (C1-C10)", supervised by Dr. M. Leal Jose

Dr. Alcalde Garcia's research centers on Physical Chemistry, specializing in molecular simulation of fluids and thermophysical characterization of liquid mixtures. As a core member of the AdF Research Group (Molecular Analysis and Simulation of Fluids), he investigates solvent interactions in amide-water-alcohol systems through computational modeling and experimental thermodynamics. His work addresses fundamental questions in fluid behavior with implications for chemical engineering and industrial solvent design.

He maintains active roles in Research Unit UIC 305 and the PhD program in Advanced Chemistry (Química Avanzada) at the University of Burgos, contributing to graduate education and research supervision within the Chemistry Department.
