Background
Enrique Ortí obtained his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry with academic honors from the Univ. of Valencia in 1985 under the supervision of Profs. F. Tomás and J. Sánchez-Marín. In 1987, he did a postdoctoral stay with Prof. J.-L. Brédas (Laboratoire de Chimie Théorique Apliquée, Univ Namur, Belgium), where he worked on the calculation of periodic systems (conjugated polymers and aggregates). He became Assistant and Associate Professor in Physical Chemistry at the University of Valencia in 1986 and 1987, respectively. Since 2008, he is Full Professor of Physical Chemistry at this university.
E. Ortí is research member of the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) of the University of Valencia, which has been distinguished two times with the accreditation as a Unit of Excellence Maria de Maeztu", where he leads the Molecular Materials Theoretical Chemistry Group (MolMatTC, http://www.uv.es/qcmatmol/) since its foundation in 1988. His main interests concern the theoretical characterization of functional electroactive/photoactive molecular materials of special relevance in the field of Molecular Electronics. The MolMatTC group, under the leadership of Dr. E. Ortí, has collaborated with many Spanish and international research groups involved in the synthesis, characterization and device development of molecular materials. The results obtained have been of special relevance for: 1) optimizing the photophysical properties of luminescent materials used in light-emitting devices (LECs and OLEDs), 2) understanding the charge transfer processes of electron donor/acceptor systems used in solar cells, 3) disentangling the structural and energetic aspects of molecular aggregation phenomena and supramolecular polymer formation, and 4) predicting the charge and energy transport properties of new organic semiconductors. E. Ortí was one of pioneers of the scientific community working on molecular materials currently grouped in the multidisciplinary RSEQ/RSEF group of Nanoscience and Molecular Materials (Nanomatmol).
E. Ortí has published around 350 papers , has been involved in 37 research projects (24 as principal investigator, 3 excellence PROMETEO projects) and has given around 125 invited/plenary talks and seminars. He has been Visiting Professor of the Univ. of Mons (Belgium) and, in 2014, he was distinguished with the Award to the Research Excellence of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (RSEQ).
E. Ortí has supervised 17 Doctoral, one of them awarded with the 2011 IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists, 4 with the Premio Extraordinario de Doctorado en Química and 4 received the Nanomatmol Doctorate Award. 10 of these students have continued a scientific career in Universities or Research Centers (Universidad de Valencia, Technical University of Munich, Universidad de Zaragoza), 1 has obtained an ERC contract, and 3 of them enjoy excellence research contracts (Ramón y Cajal, Juan de la Cierva and CDEIGENT). He actively participates in the Erasmus Mundus Master on Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling, and is the coordinator at the Universidad de Valencia of the Doctoral Program on Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling."
