Über Autor(innen)

Vallejos, Saúl
Saúl Vallejos obtained his bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the University of Burgos. While working on his doctoral thesis, he founded the company "Chameleon Sensors SL". This helped him get to know the industrial and commercial world closely, but mainly directed his research and the group towards real solutions for the real world. He worked at the European Space Agency (ESA, Noordwijk, Holland) and at the Miguel Hernández University (Elche, Spain) which helped him make more and better contributions in the field of polymers.

He is co-director of the Polymer Research Group of the University of Burgos. He is the principal investigator of 3 funded research projects (funded with more than ?100k) and has registered 18 patents in the last eight years.
