Background
I am an Associate Professor at the Instituto de Ciencia Molecular (ICMol, María de Maeztu excellence unit since 2016) at the Universitat de València. In 2003, I gained my Degree in Chemistry from the UV. Shortly afterwards I obtained a FPU Grant and joined Coronado's group as a pre-doctoral student. In 2008, I completed my PhD in Chemistry on the design of Bistable Metallic Complexes for Organic Electronics.
After obtaining my PhD degree I joined the Unité Mixte of Physicque CNRS/THALES (UMR137) under the supervision of Prof. Pierre Seneor and Dr. Richard Mattana as a post-doctoral researcher shortly after becoming a Marie Curie (MC) IEF Fellow. There, I worked for four years in the area of Molecular spintronics, more precisely on the integration of organic materials into spintronic devices mastering lithographic techniques and magnetotransport measurements.
At the beginning of 2013, I re-joined the ICMol as a Juan de la Cierva-MC CIG Fellow and focus my research on the development of different materials with interests for molecular electronics and spintronics that in 2018 associated to Dr. Carlos Martí group (FuniMat, https://funimat.es/). In 2018 I was granted with a Ramón y Cajal contract shifted my research attracted by the possibilities offered by Metallic Complexes and Frameworks in electrocatalytic applications.
I have combined my research with Chemistry teaching at the UV. Especially during 2016-2018 when I worked as Assistant Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry in Valencia. On top of that, I am co-founder of Porous Materials in Action SL (https://porousinaction.com/), the first Spanish company dedicated to the production and valorization of MOF type materials.
