Dr. Felipe J. Blas studied Physics in University of Sevilla (1992) and got his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Rovira i Virgili University at Tarragona, Spain (2000). He spent several months in the Deparment of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London (UK). He joined to the Physics of Complex Liquids (FILICO) Group at the end of 1998. After a period of Assistant Profesor in the Department of Applied Physics, he obtained a permanent position in the Deparment five years later. Since the end of 2011, he is formally the Head of the Physics Complex Liquids (FILICO) group.
Dr. Blas did his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Lourdes F. Vega (now at MATGAS) developing and extending a sucessful and versatile version of the Statistical Associating Fluid Theory or SAFT. He got a postdoctoral assistant research at Imperial College London under the supervision of Prof. George Jackson. He was developing and using density function theory to predict the interfacial properties of complex mixtures of substances of industrial interest. During the last years, Dr. Blas has been developing and applying new molecular simulation methods to determine the interfacial properties, with special emphasis on interfacial tension, of models of complex substances, including chain-like systems.
