Alex Palma-Cando received his B.Sc degree in Chemistry at Central University of Ecuador in 2010. His M.Sc studies were focused in the electrochemistry of conducting polymers and organic photovoltaic devices at National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) from 2011 to 2013. Then he did his doctoral studies in the Macromolecular Chemistry Group headed by Prof. Dr. Ullrich Scherf at Bergische Universität Wuppertal (Germany) until February 2017 when he received his doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat) with the highest honors (summa cum laude). Since April 2017, he is full-time professor at School of Chemistry Science and Engineering in Yachay Tech University teaching undergraduate and graduate courses related to Materials Science, Chemical Kinetics and General Chemistry. He has directed and participated in various research projects and advised several theses. He is a member of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) and the American Chemical Society (ACS), and a founding member of the Group for Applied Research in Materials and Processes (GIAMP). Currently, his research interest lies (i) in the development of microporous polymeric structures for use in organic electronics and sensors, and (ii) in the development of corrosion inhibitors for metals. He collaborates with national and international institutions in the development of various interdisciplinary projects. He is the author of several scientific publications in indexed journals and book chapters with a H-index of 15.
