He has pubhshed approximately 50 papers in international peer-reviewed journals and two book chapters. Dr. Terzi has been invited to hold seminars and to be Guest Editor for special issues of international journals. He visited the Laboratory of Materials Chemistry and Chemical Analysis (University of Turku, Finland) and the Department of Chemistry (University of Oxford, UK) in order to broaden his knowledge on surface characterization techniques. His main scientific interests are (i) the modification of electrode surfaces using conducting polymers, self-assembled monolayers, (nano)particles, and graphene (ii) the spectroscopic and microscopic characterization of the electrode coatings (iii) the synthesis and characterization of (nano)particles (iv) electrocatalysis applied to amperometric sensors. 

Sebastian Munoz-Guerra completed his Ph.D in Organic Chemistry in 1974 at the University of Seville. After postdoctoral work on crystal structure and morphology of non-conventional nylons, he initiated research on synthesis and characterization of bio-based polymers and copolymers. Since 1987, he is full Professor in Chemical Engineering at the Technical University of Catalonia in Barcelona. His current research is focussed on the development of polyesters, polyamides and polyurethanes derived from carbohydrates with special attention paid to industrial aromatic polyesters, as well as on modification of microbial biopolymers with therapeutic interest. He has authored more than 200 peer reviewed papers and several book chapters, and has been granted more than 15 patents on these issues.
