Agustin Etxeberria earned his BS In Chemistry graduated from the University of the Basque Country in 1987 and obtained the PhD degree in 1993 from the same university. In 1992 he obtained a position as assistant professor in the Department of Polymer Science and Technology of the University of the Basque Country. In 2002 he was promoted to associated Professor. Currently, he is the Head of this Department. He has published close to 100 papers and one book chapter.
His current research topics are focused on: polymer miscibility, develop of barrier materials and more specifically for packaging applications, and characterization of polymer microstructure by nuclear magnetic resonance.
