On September 5th, 2014 he defended his thesis entitled “Towards More Sustainable Chemical Processes: Studies on Covalent and Non-covalent Catalyst Immobilization” On December 2014 he started working at the Peking University in Beijing, China with a joint position between Prof. Peng Chen and Prof. Zhang-Jie Shi. His research is focussed on the application of the Pd-catalyzed […]
Gallardo, Joan
Joan´s project was based on the design of metal-catalyzed cascade reactions initiated by activation of carbon dioxide.
Fra, Laura
Laura worked on iodine(III)-promoted amination reactions.
Fernández, Núria
Núria works on the study of charge carrier dynamics in small molecule solar cells.
Funes, Ignacio
Ignacio was a Severo Ochoa fellow. He studied computationally the synthesis of organic bonds, and the mechanism of oxidation coupling reactions. Ignacio is a fantastic science communicator and represented ICIQ in contests and outreach events (he still collaborates with ICIQ’s Communication Unit).
Galan, Albano
Albano works on design of molecular containers based on calix[4]pyrrole scaffolds with covalent and self-assembled structures and their application as molecular flasks.
Fernández, Héctor
On 1st September 209 Héctor defended his thesis entitled “Towards Highly Efficient Ligands for Asymmetric Hydrogenations: a Covalent Modular Approach and Investigations into Bio-inspired Supramolecular Strategies” and afterwards he worked on covalent and supramolecular modular approaches to catalysis and was the group’s laboratory coordinator.
Francàs, Laia
Ferrer, Sofía
Sofia worked on the development of new enantioselective metal-catalyzed reactions.
Correa, Arkaitz
Arkaitz developped novel methodologies based upon metal-catalyzed C-H and CO2 activation.
Corella, Neus
Drouet, Samuel
Cornellà, Josep
Josep studied the mechanism of C-O bond-cleavage as well as the development of novel methodologies based upon C-C bond-cleavage.
Dorel, Ruth
Ruth works on the development of new synthetic methodologies and strategies for the synthesis of nanographenes and other polyarenes.
de Orbe, Maria Elena
Elena worked on the discovery of new transition metal-catalyzed reactions both experimentally and theoretically.
Curreli, Simona
Berardi, Serena
Bobadilla, Luis Francisco
Luis was born in Sevilla. He completed his PhD in Chemistry (2011) at University of Sevilla. After he spent one year as a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratoire Catalyse et Spectrochimie at the ENSICAEN in Caen (France). He joined the Urakawa group as a postdoctoral fellow in 2012. His research interest was focused on the […]
