SAULO ANGEL VAZQUEZ RODRIGUEZ

Saulo Angel Vazquez Rodriguez serves as a Professor in the Department of Physical Chemistry at the University of Santiago de Compostela's Faculty of Chemistry, specializing in computational and theoretical chemistry methodologies.

His academic foundation includes a 1989 Doctorate from the University of Santiago de Compostela, where his thesis investigated conformational trends and intramolecular hydrogen bonding in alcohols and ethers using MM2 force field simulations and ab initio calculations under the supervision of Dr. Miguel Ángel Ríos Fernández and Dr. Luis Carballeira Ocaña.

Research activities center on molecular modeling and structural analysis, currently directed through the QTEC (Theoretical and Computational Chemistry) research group. Earlier contributions involved the SupraNanoBioMol group, exploring supramolecular architectures, biomimetic nanosystems, and biophysical molecular interactions. This dual expertise bridges quantum chemical computations with complex system behaviors.

Key research affiliations include:

• QTEC: Theoretical and computational chemistry (current primary group)
• SupraNanoBioMol: Supramolecular systems, nanobiomimetics and molecular biophysics (historical collaboration)
