Dr. Alvaro Garcia Cruz is a scientist, technologist, and entrepreneur. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the Universidad of Guanajuato, Mexico, in 2008, and his master’s degree in Catalysis and Physical Chemistry from the University Claude Bernard Lyon in France in 2010. His diverse research experiences include projects in the synthesis of antibiotics at the University of Dallas (USA), biopolymers, and bio detergents at the University of Avignon (France), and core-shell nanostructures for catalysis applications at the Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry in Krakow (Poland).
He completed his Ph.D. in Nano and Biotechnology at the University Claude Bernard Lyon in France, sponsored by CONACYT, with an Academic Excellence Scholarship in 2015. Subsequently, he worked as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Catalysis and Physical Chemistry in Warsaw (Poland), focusing on electrochemical sensors and polymers in 2016. From 2017 to 2023, he served as a Senior Scientist at the University of Leicester, making significant contributions to industrial research projects and leading initiatives related to sensor technology for medical applications, detection of explosives and drugs, Microplate assay, and drug delivery, including participation in several Horizon program European and NATO projects.
In 2020, he co-founded Gamanity Health and Cosmetics, a start-up emphasizing sustainable, organic skincare, and health products, and currently serves as the UK Business Manager there. Since 2023, he has been working as a Scientific Officer at SAAT Healthcare Ltd in the UK, leading commercial expertise in Biotechnology and Medical Devices, with a focus on R&D management, compliance, and fostering strategic collaborations for innovative product development. His areas of expertise include In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD), quality management, and business development.
His research and technological endeavours focus on the development of Medical Diagnostic tools employing Optical and Electrochemical sensors, Wearable and Wireless sensors, Conducting polymers, Bioelectronics, Microplate assays, Nanoactuators, Drug delivery, Epitope mapping, and Nanozymes. With a prolific academic record, he has published over 45 peer-reviewed articles and holds 5 patents, two of which are licensed to the Biotech industry. He is a distinguished member of both the French Chemical Society and the Mexican Chemical Society.

We are delighted to introduce Nikou Hamzehpour, PhD as a member of a scientific commission of the 12th European Young Engineers Conference!
Dr. Nikou Hamzehpour studied soil pedology at the University of Tarbiat Modares, Tehran, Iran, where she obtained a PhD in soil science in 2012. Since then, she teaches at the University of Maragheh, Iran. Her research has focused on different aspects of Lake Urmia (Hyper-saline salt lake in the northwest of Iran) including soil salinization, saline soils’ pedogenesis, lake Urmia playa formation and evolution and the environmental consequences of its drying. She has accomplished several national projects on this topic. During past few years, her focus was on the study of the dust hot spots’ characteristics, their physico-chemical stabilization and aerosol properties. In 2020 and during a one-year sabbatical, hosted by Atmospheric Chemistry group at ETH University in Switzerland, she started to work on the role of soil-dust from Lake Urmia playa on ice nucleation and the role of soil minerals as well as soil physico-chemical characteristics on heterogeneous freezing temperature.
We are delighted to have You on board, inspiring young engineers in the pursuit of knowledge. Stay tuned for more updates and join us in welcoming Nikou Hamzehpour to our conference! 🚀
