ANGEL SERRANO CASERO

Presentation

Graduated in Chemical Engineering from the UCLM in 2012 and Master of Chemical and Environmental Engineering in 2014. His PhD, entitled: “Passive Energy Storage Materials for building applications”, was obtained in 2018 at the UCLM. His research activities were focused on the development of PCM-based thermoregulatory materials and their application in building elements such us gypsum, bricks and rigid polyurethane foams. He is currently working at CIC energiGUNE as Postdoctoral researcher as a member of the Thermal Energy Storage group, focuses on Phase Transitions and Critical Behaviors issues.
