Nicolas Bertero

Nicolás Bertero obtained his academic degree in Chemical Engineering in March 2003 at the Facultad de Ingeniería Química - UNL, and latter he got a PhD degree in Chemical Engineering at the same college in December 2007. The title of his PhD thesis is “Selective catalytic synthesis of fine chemicals from aromatic ketones” and it was directed by Prof. Alberto J. Marchi and co-directed by Prof. Carlos R. Apesteguía.

He did a postdoctoral fellowship in the project “Emerging Technologies for production of next generation biofuels” at the ICS-UNIDO (International Centre for Science and High Technology - United Nations Industrial Development Organization) in collaboration with University of TriesteTrieste, Italy during 2009 under the supervision of Prof. Paolo Fornasiero. After that, in 2010, he joined the CONICET (National Council of Research, Argentina) as a Researcher. His work is mainly focused on the utilization of heterogeneous catalysts in: a) selective liquid-phase hydrogenation reactions; b) dehydrations of alcohols, c) environmental applications; and d) biofuels. He works also in kinetic modeling of liquid-phase catalytic reactions.
