Rolando M.A. Roque-Malherbe Ph.D.
Dr. Roque-Malherbe's current research interests include: nanoscale adsorption phenomena; surface analysis; absorption kinetics of hydrogen and other gases in microporous crystalline, mesoporous ordered, and micro/mesoporous amorphous materials; and zeolite applications. Dr. Roque-Malherbe completed postdoctoral stays at the Technical University of Dresden, Moscow State University, Technical University of Budapest, and the Institute of Physical Chemistry and Central Research Institute for Chemistry of the Russian and Hungarian Academies of Science (1978–1984). Professor Roque-Malherbe headed a research group in the National Center for Scientific Research–Higher Pedagogical Institute in Varona, Havana, Cuba (1980–1992), which is a world leader in the study and application of natural zeolites.In 1993, after a confrontation with the Cuban regime, he left Cuba with his family as a political refugee. From 1993 to 1999, he worked at the Institute of Chemical Technology, Valencia, Spain; Clark Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia; and Barry University, Miami, Florida. From 1999 to 2004 he was dean and full professor of the School of Science at Turabo University (TU), Gurabo, Puerto Rico, and currently is the Director of the Institute of Physico-Chemical Applied Research at TU. He has published 112 papers, 3 books, 5 chapters, 15 patents, 29 abstracts, and has given more than 200 presentations at scientific conferences. He is currently an American citizen.

UCLA Team Develops Graphene-Based SupercapacitorResearchers at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a supercapacitor or electrochemical capacitor (EC) composed of an expanded network of graphene — a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon. The team demonstrated excellent mechanical and electrical properties as well as exceptionally high surface area.
