Dr Israel Temprano is a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge (UK), where he develops novel materials for energy related applications such as batteries, carbon capture systems, etc. Born in La Coruña, he graduated as B.Sc. in Chemistry from Universidade da Coruña in 2003, and in 2010 as Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Université Laval (Canada). In 2009 Dr Temprano was appointed Marie Curie Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the University of Liverpool working on surface functionalization of advanced materials. Later that year he moved to the University of Cambridge to work on heterogeneous catalysis with Professors Sir David King and Stephen Jenkins. In 2016 he joined the group of Professor Clare Grey to develop novel types of high-capacity batteries and other energy related devices. Besides his work at the University of Cambridge he is currently a Research Associate of the Faraday Institution, ALISTORE-ERI, member of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and research consultant of Nyobolt.
