Dr. Jesús González Cobos, Postdoctoral Researcher in Prof. Galán-Mascarós group, has received the SECAT (Sociedad Española de Catálisis) Thesis Award 2015 for his Thesis entitled ‘Electrochemical promotion of novel catalysts with alkaline conductors for hydrogen production from methanol’ developed in Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha under the supervision of professors José Luis Valverde Palomino and Antonio de Lucas Consuegra.

In October 2015, he joined the group of Prof. Galán-Mascarós where he works in the design and development of novel water electrolysis devices with robust catalysts powered by renewable energy sources for low-cost hydrogen production from natural waters at ambient conditions.
