María Fernández Álvarez
María Fernández Álvarez has a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (2020). Since 2021 she has been working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Ceramics for Smart Systems group at the Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio (CSIC). Her research activities primarily focus on the development of functional organic coatings and the use of Raman spectroscopy in different applications, such as the development of new reference samples and protocols for the standardization and harmonization of Raman measurements, studies related to Raman-luminescent effects and chemometrics. She has published 13 SCI peer-reviewed artic scientific les and 1 European patent application.
Enrique Lozano
Having worked in the analytical devices industry since 2007, Enrique has gained significant commercial and technical experience in laser-based instrumentation, its development and commercialisation, which together with his extensive scientific knowledge (PhD in Chemistry), led him to pursue his ambition of creating ELODIZ Ltd in 2012. His life, career and studies have spanned 2 continents, and it is reflected in over 40 publications, 2 patents. Today, Enrique maintains a strong strategic direction and commitment to his business and its employees. Investing time in technological innovations, he continuously looks for ways to improve our products and services, so they exceed customer satisfaction and enhance their experience. Under his management, ELODIZ has become an integral member of the CHARISMA Consortium.

Pablo Beato
Pablo Beato studied chemistry at the Philipps University Marburg (Dipl.-Chem. 2001) and obtained his PhD from the Technical University Berlin and the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society under supervision of Robert Schlögl. In 2005 he moved to the research and development department of the Danish catalyst producer and technology company TOPSOE, where he is still employed today. His core research expertise lies on the synthesis and characterization of micro- and mesoporous materials for applications in catalysis and separation, polyoxometalates as molecular precursors for oxides/sulfides in catalysis and energy applications and development of in-situ/operando spectroscopic tools to follow chemical reactions and the synthesis of materials. His technical experience in the field of industrial catalysis, ranges from chemicals over refinery to environmental applications, with focus on the development of catalysts for synthetic fuels production. He is an author and co-author of over 100 research papers in peer reviewed journals and contributed to several monographs (book chapters) related to material science and catalysis. He is also inventor and co-inventor of 13 different patent families. Pablo currently holds the position of a Lead Scientist, which covers his role as head of the spectroscopy laboratories and project manager for catalyst development.
