Alfredo de la Escosura-Muñiz holds a PhD in Chemistry (2006) from the University of Oviedo (Spain). His post-doctoral period (2007-2010) was granted by a Juan de la Cierva Research Fellowship at the Institute of Nanoscience of Aragon (Spain) in collaboration with the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology (Spain), including a stay at the Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden). He joined then Prof. Merkoçi's group at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2, Spain) as Senior Researcher (2011 to 2017) followed by a stay at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Spain) (2017-2018). In 2018 he returned to the University of Oviedo (Spain) as Ramón y Cajal Research Fellow.

After his Bachelor studies in Chemistry where he worked with enzymes inhibition, for his Master studies in Analytical Chemistry he worked at the development of a pH sensor in the group of Professor Di Francesco. He spent a one year fellowship improving his electrochemistry knowledge performing electrochemical investigations of surfaces. He did his PhD in the work group of Prof. Fabio Di Francesco at the Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry of the University of Pisa where he worked at the development of sensors array for athlete’s performances monitoring during training sessions.
