osé Manuel Díaz-Cruz is Professor of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Chemistry at the University of Barcelona (UB), Spain. Following studies of Chemistry at UB, he obtained the Ph.D. degree in 1992. In 1989-90 and 1993 he worked for 16 months in the University of Wageningen (The Netherlands) with H.P. van Leeuwen. He was appointed Associate Professor in 1995 and Professor in 2019 and was secretary (2001-2003) and vice-dean (2003-2004) of the Faculty of Chemistry of UB. He has participated in more than 20 competitive research projects, has supervised 8 Ph.D. Theses, has registered a Spanish patent that is in commercial exploitation and has published more than 140 research works in indexed journals, as well as several book chapters, one of them inside the 'Comprehensive Chemometrics' treatise edited by Brown, Tauler and Walczak (2009). His research contributions are inside the fields of electroanalysis and chemometrics, studying: (i) the interactions of heavy metal ions with macromolecules, particles, and sulphur-containing compounds; (ii) the application of chemometrics to voltammetric data; (iii) the electrochemical detection in flow injection analysis and liquid chromatography; (iv) the development of electrochemical sensors and sensor arrays based on screen-printed technology and (v) the authentication of food products. He has taught a large variety of regular courses at UB dealing with general chemistry, general and advanced analytical chemistry, electroanalysis and chemometrics at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels and has participated in the Erasmus-Mundus Master in Quality in Analytical Laboratories (EMQAL). He has also taught chemometrics in the University of Santiago de Chile (Chile). He has joined 9 projects of research and innovation in teaching, leading three of them
