CASFER is hosting a 1 day EIS workshop in concert with it's Fall Student Symposium. The workshop is an all day event designed to give graduate students, postdocs, junior faculty, and industry members an introduction to Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. The workshop aims to impart both theoretical as well as practical skills when performing EIS experiments, allowing scholars to translate classroom concepts into real applications.
The workshop takes place on Friday, September 18th, 2026. The workshop will be held at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX.
Dr. Alvarez-Pugliese is a Senior Research Associate working in the Chemical Engineering Department at Texas Tech University. He is CASFER’s Research and Team Science Coordinator. He has Chemical Engineering and Economics studies, and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Universidad del Valle (Colombia) with over 10 years of experience working on electrochemistry at laboratory, pilot, and semi-industrial scale. His research topics include: electrocatalysis for ammonia oxidation, BDD electrochemical oxidation of industrial effluents, iron electro-dissolution and coagulation of landfill leachate, gold adsorption / electro-elution and electrodeposition from activated carbon, and catalytic ozonation wastewater treatment.
He is an active member of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE), Electrochemical Society (ECS) and is the Associate Editor for the Journal of Applied Electrochemistry. He has taken part of innovation-base entrepreneurships and has served as business and technology transfer consultant.
