Background
Carlos Martí-Gastaldo is a Spanish chemist (Premio Extraordinario de Licenciatura) who was initially trained in Coordination Chemistry and Molecular Magnetism in E. Coronado ?s group at the ICMol-University of Valencia. He received his PhD in Chemistry in 2009 for his work on 'Multifunctional Magnetic Materials by using Coordination Polymers and 2D Layered Inorganic Materials', that was recognized with the 'Young Researcher Olivier Kahn Recognition' awarded by the European Institute of Molecular Magnetism, the 'NanoMatMol Prize' to the best thesis in Nanoscience and Molecular Materials awarded by the GENAM group of the RSEQ, and the 'Premio Extraordinario de Tesis' awarded by the Universidad de València He then shifted his focus to apply his training to the design of Metal-Organic Frameworks during his postdoctoral stage as a Marie Curie Fellow in M. J. Rosseinsky's group at the University of Liverpool (2010- 2012). During this postdoctoral stage he was awarded with the 'Postdoc SusChem Prize' to young chemistry investigators by the RSEQ and the Spanish Technological Platform of Sustainable Chemistry (2011).
He began his independent career in 2013 in Liverpool, with the award of a Royal Society University Research Fellowship (~40 awarded in the UK annually). In 2014, he returned to the ICMol with a Ramón y Cajal Fellowship (~15 awarded in Chemistry annually) to lead the design of highly stable MOFs, one of the strategic research lines of the 1st 'María de Maeztu' Excellence program awarded to the center. With the award of an ERC Starting Grant in 2016, he established his own research group at the ICMol. The Functional Inorganic Materials team (FuniMAT) is focused on the design and processing of porous inorganic materials for biological and environmental-related applications. He founded the start-ups 'Porous Materials for Advanced Applications' (2018) and 'Porous Materials in Action' (2021) to accelerate the transfer of research results into socially useful products and services. He received an ERC Consolidator Grant in 2021 and is one of the guarantor investigators of the 2nd 'María de Maeztu' Excellence program of ICMol (2021-2024).
Since the beginning of his independent career, he has built an international reputation for world leading research recognized with awards, Spanish/European fellowships, invited presentations, talented young scientists attracted/supervised and a sustained competitive funding record as PI of near 8.5 M. His independent trajectory has been recognized with the 'Excelencia Investigadora Prize by the Real Sociedad Española de Química (RSEQ) y BASF' (2022), the 'RSEQ-Sigma-Aldrich Young Investigator Prize' (2015), the 'X Scientific-Technical Prize Ciudad de Algemesí' for young investigators awarded by Ayuntamiento de Algemesí (2015), and the VLC/StartUp Prize in two editions (2022 & 2018).
