Eva Rodil Rodríguez is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), where she develops her teaching and research activities within the GI-1616 Sustainable Separation Processes group.
She graduated in Chemical Sciences (Industrial Chemistry specialization) in 1995 and obtained her PhD in Chemical Engineering from USC in 1999. Her postdoctoral stays at McGill University (Canada) and Queen’s University Belfast (United Kingdom) strengthened her expertise in thermodynamics, mixture separation and ionic liquids.

She has participated in more than twenty research projects funded at European, national and regional levels; holds a national patent; has authored over 75 scientific articles in high-impact journals, more than 40 contributions to international conferences, and five book chapters; and has co-supervised four PhD theses. Her h-index is 30, reflecting the relevance and impact of her work in the field of Chemical Engineering.

Her research focuses on the development of more efficient and sustainable processes, particularly in separation operations and the use of advanced designer solvents, with a strong emphasis on phase equilibria and applied thermodynamics for process design.
She is the Coordinator of the PhD Programme in Chemical and Environmental Engineering. She served as Secretary of the International Doctoral School (EDIUS) at USC from 04/11/2019 to 31/08/2023 and has been Deputy Director for the Science and Engineering area from that date to the present.
