Salvador Gutierrez-Portocarrero works in the White Research Group at the University of Utah where he studies organic synthetic electrochemistry at a three-phase interface. His major interests are understanding electron transfer, phase-transfer, the reaction mechanisms, and the efficiency of product extraction-catalyst separation at this interface. He is a strong supporter of public engagement and discussion around sciences since for him knowledge only is better transmitted in these two exercises, and it is really important to communicate cutting-knowledge technology and theories to avoid myths around them. He enjoys reading, learning, cycling and day-to-day discussions since in his opinion learning is an active process. Take your time, learning takes time!
