About

Dr. Garcia earned his B.S. in Biochemistry (1996) and Ph.D. in Chemistry (2001) from the National University of Córdoba, Argentina. He then completed postdoctoral fellowships at Mississippi State University and Colorado State University. In 2004, Dr. Garcia joined the faculty at UT at San Antonio, where he earned tenure (2010) and was then promoted to Professor (2014). In 2015, he joined Clemson University, as a Professor of Analytical Chemistry. After serving as Associate Department Chair for nearly six years, Dr. Garcia joined the Office of Faculty ADVANCEment as a Faculty Fellow. Under this new role, he is implementing university-wide policies for faculty assessments, establishing cross-campus partnerships with service units, and launching training modules that promote best practices in faculty review.

How their research is transforming health care

Over the last few decades, the concept of miniaturization has been actively explored for the development of more efficient analytical platforms. Besides microfluidic devices, a number of analytical platforms have emerged for high-throughput molecular measurements. Towards this goal, our group is dedicated to advance the understanding and applicability of microfluidic devices, nanomaterials, and electrochemical processes. We are focused on the development of integrated analytical approaches that span from highly specialized instrumentation to simple paper-based devices. Applications of these projects include the quantification of biomedically-relevant analytes, the design of biocatalysts, and the implementation of artificial intelligence to address analytical problems.
