Doctor by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid with the thesis Sistemas avanzados basados en líquidos iónicos para la captura y conversión de gases 2019. Supervised by Dr. José Francisco Palomar Herrero, Dr. Jorge Bedia García-Matamoros.

Rubén Santiago obtained his BSc in Chemical Engineering (Autonomous University of Madrid) and his PhD with International Mention in Applied Chemistry (Autonomous University of Madrid, Extraordinary Doctorate Award). He has worked as a predoctoral researcher in the Chemical Engineering Department of the UAM (2016-2019) and as a postdoctoral researcher in the Chemical Engineering Department of the UAM (2019-2021) and in the Industrial and Environmental Chemical Engineering Department of the ETSII, Polytechnic University of Madrid (2022-2023). During his pre- and postdoctoral stage, he has carried out research stays at the Technical University of Denmark (Denmark, 2018) and at the Universidade de Aveiro (Portugal, 2023). During his research career he has collaborated on different research projects resulting in 43 scientific articles published in journals indexed in JCR and 2 invention patents. In addition, he has presented more than 50 communications at national and international conferences. His research lines focus mainly on the use of sustainable solvents (ionic liquids, eutectic solvents and biosolvents) for CO2 capture operations and extraction of fermentation inhibitors through liquid-liquid extraction. This is carried out using a multiscale tool in which molecular simulation, processes and experimental tests are integrated. Since September 2023, he is an Assistant Professor at the Electrical, Electronic, Control, Telematics and Chemistry Applied to Engineering Engineering Department at UNED.
