Irene Domínguez Fernández graduated in Chemical Sciences at University of Vigo (Spain) in 2005. In 2006 She started to collaborate in the area of Chemical Engineering of the University of Vigo, under the direction of Professor Ángeles Domínguez Santiago. This year her research focused on the use of ionic liquids as separation agents in azeotropic ethanol / water. In 2008, she was selected by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (Spain) for a pre-doctoral grant, asociated to the research project "Application of ionic liquids in the separation of aromatic compounds present in petroleum refining fractions" under the supervision of Professor A. Santiago. During these years, she also collaborated with Professor José Palomar of the University Autonoma of Madrid for the prediction of the phase equilibrium through the COSMO-RS program. In 2012 she obtained her Ph.D. degree at the University of Vigo with the Thesis Extraordinary Prize. In 2014 she joined, as Post-doctoral researcher, LSRE-LCM under the guidance of Professor Eugénia Macedo where she extended her research experience in modeling with PC-SAFT equation of state for mixtures containing ionic liquids. In 2015 she was selected by the Xunta de Galicia (Spain) for a post-doctoral grant to work in LSRE-LCM under the guidance of Professor Eugénia Macedo on the field: study new choline and amino acids- based ionic liquids (CAAILs) or Deep Eutectic Solvents -based aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) for separation of biomass-derived building blocks and other biomolecules.
