Carlos A. Martinez-Huitle graduated in Chemistry at Universidad de las Américas-Puebla (México) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Marco Antonio Quiroz Alfaro.

After a work experience in Ciba Specialty Chemicals (currently acquired by the German chemical company BASF), he moved to Ferrara (Italy) where he received his PhD in Chemical Sciences at the University of Ferrara under supervision of Prof. Achille De Battisti. During the same period, he worked as visiting scientist in the group of Prof. Christos Comninellis at the EPFL Institute, Switzerland.

From 2005 to 2008, he has served as faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Milan. In 2008, he also moved to Brazil where he currently is an Associate Professor in the Institute of Chemistry at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte.

He was awarded with the Oronzio and Niccolo` De Nora Foundation Prize by the Italian Chemical Society (2005) and the Oronzio and Niccolò De Nora Foundation Prize on Environmental Electrochemistry by the International Society of Electrochemistry (2009). The Mexican scientist was also recognized by German Government, in 2009, with the Green Talent Award for his contributions in the field of water disinfection-treatment by new electrochemical technologies. During these years, he has studied and worked in Mexico, conducted research in Switzerland and both taught and researched in Italy, Chile and Brazil.

He has published 199 publications on international Journals with more than 7768 citations (H index 39), 10 chapters of books and co-editor of the books entitled Synthetic Diamond Films (Wiley & Sons) and Electrochemical Water and wastewater Treatment (Elsevier) as well as contributions to national and international meetings. Also, he participates in the Editorial Boards of RSC Advances (Royal Society of Chemistry), Air, Soil and Water Research (SAGe), Journal of Chemistry (Hindawi), Applied Catalysis B Environmental (Elsevier) and Scientific Reports (Nature group) journals. His research interests include electrochemical advanced oxidation processes for water treatment, electrocatalytic materials, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and electroanalysis. He actuated as vice-coordinator of Graduate Program in Chemistry from 2012 to 2016, and currently, he is coordinator of the Graduate Program in Petroleum Sciences and Engineering.

He participated as general chair of organizing committee of the XXI Simpósio Brasileiro de Eletroquímica e Eletroanalítica on April, 2017 in Natal (Brazil) and he is also the general chair of organizing committee of the 4° Iberoamerican Conference on Advanced Oxidation Technologies (III CIPOA) which will be held in Natal on 2019. Currently, he is a visiting scientist in the Institut für Organische Chemie at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (Germany) supported by Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. He is member of the Spanish Network of Excellence E3TECH, and President elect of the Brazilian Society of Electrochemistry and Electroanalysis.
