Biography

Juan Diego Rodriguez-Blanco is an Ussher Assistant Professor in Nano-Mineralogy at Trinity College Dublin. He studies the mechanisms by which (bio)minerals form and transform at the nanoscale. His aims are: (i) to shed light on biomineralisation processes, which are deeply linked to the evolution of past and future ocean chemistry; (ii) to study mineral-water reactions that can be applied to remediate polluted waters and soils, to control the mobility and to find new sources of strategic metals. Most of his research has focused on the understanding of the formation mechanisms of carbonates, phosphates and sulfates, using a series of state-of-the-art, in situ synchrotron methods combined with conventional off-line techniques.‌
