I studied Chemistry at the University of Valladolid. Then I moved to the University of Zaragoza and  joined the group of Prof. Miguel Angel Esteruelas to work on the preparation and characterisation of organometallic and inorganic compounds and on the study of their reactivity toward organic molecules obtaining a PhD Distinction. After that, I moved to the UK as a postdoctoral researcher joining the group of Dr. David Nelson at the University of Strathclyde. My research there focused on the study of fundamental processes in cross-coupling nickel catalysis using organometallic chemistry and spectroscopic methods. Back to Spain I joined the group of  Prof. Miguel Angel Esteruelas again to work on the synthesis of iridium complexes and their application as OLEDs. In the group at sunny Sevilla since 2018, where I study transition metal / main group element cooperativity, from late 2021 I will be working in the group of Guy Bertrand at the University of California San Diego as a Marie Curie fellow.

I studied Chemistry at the Universitat de Barcelona where I obtained my MSc in Inorganic Chemistry in 2013 under Dr. Arnald Grabulosa’s supervision. Then I moved to Switzerland for graduate studies under the supervision of Prof. Martin Albrecht at Universität Bern. I completed my PhD thesis in 2017 on the development of new Electronically Flexible Ligands for Transition Metal Catalysis. The thesis was later awarded the best PhD thesis price for the Universität Bern. In 2018 I joined Dr. Didier Bourissou group at Laboratoire Hétérochemie Fondamentale et Appliquée in Toulouse as postdoctoral fellow thanks to an Early Postdoc Mobility fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation, working on ligand design for Au(I)/Au(III) chemistry. In 2020, I joined Dr. Jesus Campos group as a Juan de la Cierva fellow to work on Frustrated Lewis Pairs based on Transition Metals for the activation of small molecules. Since 2021 I am Personal Investigador Doctor (Junta de Andalucía) in the group.

I obtained my PhD in the group of Prof. Ernesto Carmona at the University of Seville, studying unusual organometallic reactivity by means of a combined experimental and computational approach. Then I joined the group of Prof. Charles Machan at the University of Virginia as a Research Associate, where I worked for two years on the development of earth-abundant CO₂ reduction electrocatalysts. In 2021, I joined the Campos group as Personal Investigador Doctor (Junta de Andalucía).

After getting my MSc at Ecole Normale Supérieure (University Paris-Saclay) in 2016, I joined the Dean Toste Lab (UC Berkeley) for a predoctoral year working on late stage fluorination using Gold(III) for an application in Positron Emission Tomography. Then, in 2017, I decided to move back to France to pursue my PhD in Didier Bourissou’s group at the Laboratoire d’Hétérochimie Fondamentale et Appliquée (University Paul Sabatier – Toulouse). During those years I’ve been working on ambiphilic derivatives, mainly phosphine-boranes, and on their applications as ligands in order to achieve challenging or original transformations at gold. In 2021, I joined the Campos Group as a postdoc researcher working on the design of transition metal / main group element complexes as well as on the study of their reactivity. 

I studied chemistry at University of Extremadura where I got my bachelor thesis on the synthesis of new platinum and palladium complexes as potential chemotherapeutic agents. Then, I joined the group of Prof. Agustín Lara at University of Castilla-La Mancha where I completed my PhD thesis on the carbon dioxide utilisation for the synthesis of industrial valuable products. During my PhD, I also carried out a stay in the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence at University of York under the supervision of Prof. Michael North, working on the synthesis of carbamates as a building blocks for the preparation of biobased polymers. In 2021, I have joined Dr. Jesús Campos group to work on the development of Frustrated Lewis Pairs based on transition metal and main group elements for the activation of small molecules.

I studied chemistry at the University of Seville. Then I moved to Zaragoza and joined the group of Miguel A. Esteruelas to obtain my PhD, studying iridium and rhodium catalysts for the dehydrogenation of liquid organic hydrogen carriers. After that, I returned to Seville in 2022 to join Dr. Jesús Campos group as a postdoc researcher.

I studied chemistry at the University of Zaragoza. There I also obtained my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Francisco J. Fernández-Alvarez and Prof. Victor Polo, studying iridium(III) complexes as catalyst precursors for the selective reduction of CO2 with silanes. In summer 2022, I joined Dr. Jesús Campos group as a postdoctoral researcher.

I am a Chemistry graduate from the University of Sevilla, currently a first-year PhD student working on Frustrated Lewis Pairs based on Transition Metals for bond activation and catalysis applications. I previously carried out my Masters project (TFM) in the group, also working with TM-FLPs.

I am working on my PhD thesis in the project Cooperative Catalysts Transition Metals – Main Group Element: To a New Catalysis Paradigm (CoopMix). I carried out my Masters project in the Organic Chemistry group of the University of Cadiz working on the synthesis of bioactive hybrid molecules using novel ruthenium catalysts.

I am a Chemistry graduate from the University of Zaragoza, where I also obtained my Master’s degree in Molecular Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis. Currently, I am in my first year of PhD working both experimentally and computationally with cooperative organometallic complexes based on transition metals and main group elements.

I studied my B.Sc. and M.Sc. at the Humboldt University of Berlin. After completing my Master’s thesis in the group of Prof. Christian Limberg on nickel siloxide complexes as molecular models for solid catalysts, I joined the Campos group in August 2021 to study the cooperative reactivity of transition metal/main group element systems.

I graduated in Chemistry and Materials Engineering in 2021. After doing my TFG in the group of Dr Campos studying the non-innocent role of Cp* ligands, I continue doing research in the group with a JAE fellowship as I finish my Masters studies.

After doing summer research stays in the group in 2020 and 2021 I am currently working on my Masters project.

I am a last-year undergraduate Chemistry student at the University of Seville. I have been carrying out some undergraduate research in Campos Group while studying at the University. I am about to start my bachelor’s thesis on cooperative organometallic complexes based on main group elements and transition metals.

I come from Lebrija and I moved to Seville to study Chemistry at the University. Recently, I joined the Campos Group as a TFG student working on the synthesis and reactivity of organometallic complexes combining very bulky Group 15 based ligands and transition metals.

I have a PhD in Organometallic Chemistry and an MSc in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. I have worked as a postdoc in Edinburgh and York (UK) and now I am trying my hand at Project Management.
