Carlos Larriba-Andaluz, Ph.D.
Carlos Larriba Andaluz got his bachelors degree in Aerospace at the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid. He moved to the States after an abridged stay at Iberia Airlines. He got his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Yale University in 2010. He was then a postdoctoral Associate and Ramon Areces Fellow at the University of Minnesota. His main areas of research are electrosprays of ionic liquids under vacuum (used in clean electrical propulsion for satellites), dielectric electrosprays by means of charge injection atomization (for efficient production and control of fuel drop generation and combustion) and Ion Mobility Spectrometry coupled with Mass Spectrometry.
Apart from science and research, Carlos enjoys books and sports, especially soccer and snowboarding, and likes to be outdoors, to travel, and to hang out.
