Background
Víctor obtained his 5-year degree in Chemistry from the University of Valencia in 2012, after a 9-month Erasmus stay at Imperial College London. Then, he completed an interuniversity Master’s Degree in Molecular Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, followed by a PhD Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the ICMol, after obtaining a FPU fellowship. His thesis “Ultrathin films of layered coordination polymers: charge transport and spin crossover at the nanoscale” was defended in 2019. He obtained «Cum Laude» qualification and international mention, along with the Best Thesis in Chemistry award from the UV as well as the NanoMatMol award from the RSEQ. Later in 2019, he joined the Rob Ameloot group in the cMACS at KU Leuven, where he worked for 4 years funded by 2 consecutive FWO postdoctoral fellowships. His research focused on the preparation of vapour phase MOFs for electronic devices. In 2023, he returned to ICMol after obtaining a tenure-track CDEIGENT fellowship from the Generalitat Valenciana. His current research is focused on the processing of porous materials as robust thin coatings for application in optoelectronics and electrocatalysis.
