Pablo Ángel García Salaberri

Pablo A. García-Salaberri holds around 15 years of teaching and research experience on Fluid Mechanics and Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage Devices. He started to work on these fields by the end of a five-year B.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering (2009) and a two-year M.S. Degree in Industrial Mathematics (2012) at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), having graduated with honors in both cases. In 2015, Pablo A. García-Salaberri concluded his Doctoral Thesis, supervised by Dr. Marcos Vera, which was awarded among the most outstanding thesis in the Mathematical Engineering program at UC3M. His dissertation deals with the multiphysics modeling of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) and the numerical characterization of diffusive properties of carbon-paper gas diffusion layers (GDL). During the PhD period, Pablo A. García-Salaberri performed a research stay at McGill University with Dr. Jeff T. Gostick. Subsequently, Pablo A. García-Salaberri worked as Postdoctoral Researcher in the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and UC3M (6 months in each center), where he developed comprehensive models of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Between 2017-2019, he worked as Assistant Professor at UC3M, and in 2019 he performed a Fulbright stay at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab together with Dr. Adam Z. Weber. Back in Spain, Pablo A. García-Salaberri started a new position at UC3M as Visiting Professor, where he taught several Bachelor's and Master's Degree courses on Fluid Mechanics, and he continued his research activity on PEMFCs and other electrochemical devices, such as redox flow batteries, lithium-ion batteries and electrolyzers. In 2024, he started a new stage at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC), where he teaches courses related with Fluid Mechanics and Chemical Engineering, and he works actively on the modeling and characterization of electrochemical reactive processes and transport in porous media. In total, PAGS has published over 50 scientific articles, 6 book chapters, more than 50 congress contributions, and participated in over 10 projects as Principal Investigator.
