Chemical Technology Team
Ricard Garcia Valls
Director of the Chemical Technology Unit at Eurecat
He has a PhD in Chemistry from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (1995) and was a Chemical Engineering researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1996-1998). A lecturer at Rovira i Virgili University (URV) since 1998 and a researcher for two decades in membrane technology and encapsulation, he has led many public and industrial projects in his field of research and in chemical technology more generally, both at the URV and also at the Chemistry Technology Centre of Catalonia (CTQC) until the merger with Eurecat.
