María José Ruiz Ángel, was born in Valencia (Spain). She obtained her PhD from the University of Valencia (Spain) in 2003 under the supervision of Prof. Maria Celia García‐Álvarez‐Coque, focusing on advances on micellar liquid chromatography. From 2004 to 2006, she was granted with a post‐doctorate fellowship in the Laboratoire des Sciences Analytiques at the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (France), working under the guidance of Prof. Alain Berthod on countercurrent chromatography and the use of ionic liquids as novel solvents in analytical separations.
Between 2007 and 2008, she was awarded with a Ramon y Cajal research position in the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Valencia, where she is Professor since March 2012 and currently co‐leads the FUSCHROM research group. Her research focuses on secondary equilibria involving surfactants and ionic liquids, fundamental studies and optimization in HPLC and the development of analytical methods for pharmaceutical and clinical applications.
She has authored more than 80 peer‐reviewed research articles, contributed to 11 research projects (including one as co‐leader), and co‐directed five PhD theses. She is also actively involved in academic management as Secretary of the Faculty of Chemistry since 2024 and in postgraduate education as co‐director of the master’s in Analytical Techniques for Clinical Laboratories since 2021.
