Dr. David Alfredo Pacheco Tanaka

Palladium and carbon molecular sieves membranes for gas separation and membrane reactors

Biography

Dr Pacheco Tanaka is Pharmacist with a master’s degree in Chemistry. From 1991 to 1996 was first visiting researcher and then doctoral student at the University of Surrey, United Kingdom working in supramolecular chemistry, obtaining the PhD degree in chemistry in 1996.

From 1997 to 2008, he was a researcher at the Advanced Institute of Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan, working first in the development of methods of detection and extraction of toxic compounds present in water, and later in the development of supported membranes of Pd / Ag membranes for the separation of hydrogen.
.
From December 2008 to May 2012, he was a researcher at the University of Oporto, Portugal, working in the development of carbon membranes for gas separation, catalysts for methanol reforming, TiO2-graphene photocatalyst, polymer-graphene composite, graphene in solar cells.

Since May 2012, he is researcher at Tecnalia (Spain) in palladium membrane reactors for the production of hydrogen, carbon membranes for the separation of gases and desalination using graphene. From 2018 he is also a university researcher at the Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands)

He is co-author of more than 100 scientific articles and 19 submitted patents.
