Curriculum summary
Manuel Miró holds a Degree in Chemical Sciences (1998) and a PhD in Analytical Chemistry (2002) from the University of the Balearic Islands. He has undertaken post-doctoral research stays at the Technical University Berlin, the Technical University of Denmark and the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) in Austria. He is currently a full university professor in analytical chemistry (since September 2017), the principal investigator of the FI-TRACE Research Group (www.fitrace.es) and a guest professor at Charles University in the Czech Republic (since July 2014). He is also an IUPAC member of the Subcommittee on Chemical and Biophysical Processes in the Environment (Division VI). Additionally, he has four recognised five- and six-year research terms.
Dr Miró has been editor for the reviews and tutorials section of the journal Analytica Chimica Acta (Elsevier) since 2007, and associate editor of the Encyclopedia of Analytical Science, 3rd edition, Elsevier, since 2016.
He has authored 222 articles/scientific publications, 112 as corresponding author, including 12 book chapters and two prologues, with an h-index of 23 and around 6,000 citations. Moreover, he has authored 25 publications in the prestigious Analytical Chemistry journal from the American Chemical Society.
As well as having given 72 oral presentations (57 as guest speaker) at international conferences in the field of analytical chemistry, sample preparations, miniaturisation, nanotechnology and flow-based methods automation, he has given 194 poster presentations at international conferences.
He has supervised 10 PhD theses at national and international universities (Technical University of Denmark, Mahidol University in Thailand, Chiang Mai University and the Federal University of Bahia in Brazil), and taken part in 36 national and international projects (e.g. at the University of Melbourne and Charles University in the Czech Republic), 18 as PI.
His research interests focus on developing automated separation and preconcentration methods of environmental contaminant trace elements in agricultural samples, using different flow analysis generations and mesofluidic systems coupled with chromatography and atomic spectrometry techniques.
