Lecturer in Chemical Engineering
Antonio has been a Lecturer at the University of Bath since January 2020. He specialises in reactor design and catalysis with eight years of experience in the field. Part of his recent research centres on continuous CO2 photo-electroreduction to create renewable fuels by harnessing electricity from renewable sources. Antonio has also collaborated with the UK Atomic Energy Authority on porous material doping. In addition, he secured UKRI/GCRF and EPSRC grants to study photocatalytic materials and membranes for persistent pollutants degradation in water.
Before joining the University of Bath, he worked at the University of Cambridge, where he applied flow chemistry and microreactors for nanoparticle synthesis and extensively researched material synthesis and catalyst characterisation. His career also includes roles at Stoli Catalysts Ltd and the University of Warwick, where he optimised reactors and catalysts for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Dr Expósito's impactful research has contributed to advancements in sustainable energy and environmental solutions.
Antonio has been collaborating with AAPS CDT since 2020 as a co-lead of the gas separation theme.
I love to work with people from different backgrounds and participate in activities like the Research Incubator or the Research Conference. One of my favourite parts is the first few weeks of the programme every year, when I get to know the people of the new cohort, with their unique motivations and interests!
I like to work on transdisciplinary projects and since my PhD I have researched several topics related to catalysis and reaction engineering that have led to 19 articles published in high-impact journals. I enjoy working with people with different backgrounds and that is what brought me to the AAPS CDT.
