Dr in Chemistry, 1995. Since 1999 he is an Associated Professor at the Department of Analytical Chemistry, University of A Coruña. Fields of expertise: Quality Control and Chemometrics. In Chemometrics, main interests are in multivariate regression and pattern recognition methods (either, unsupervised and supervised). In the Atomic Spectrometry arena, he applied formal optimisation techniques to optimize analytical protocols (experimental design and Nelder and Mead simplex) and applied multivariate regression tools to cope with spectral and chemical interferences in ETAAS (traditional sample introduction and slurry-based).
