Dr. Jorge Pisonero is an Associate Professor of Physics (since 2012) at University of Oviedo (Spain), from which he obtained his PhD degree (November 2004) working on glow discharge spectroscopy at Prof. Sanz-Medel's research group. After his PhD, he was awarded a 2-year Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship for a postdoctoral stay at ETH (Switzerland) to work on laser ablation-based techniques at Prof. Günther's research group. Afterwards, Jorge obtained the outstanding “Ramon and Cajal” research contract and went back to University of Oviedo, where in collaboration with Dr. Nerea Bordel established the Laser and Plasma Spectroscopy Research Group

His current research interests are focused on fundamentals and applications of atmospheric and low pressure GD spectroscopy, LIBS and LA-ICP-MS. Moreover, Jorge is co-author of more than 60 scientific articles and several book chapters.
