A couple of weeks ago, Víctor and Guille were in San Lorenzo de El Escorial attending the 16th European School…

WE BUILD CONNECTIONS WITH ORGANIZATIONS AND COOPERATE WITH SMART PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD
Carmen and Ana visited IES La Patacona and IES Escultor En Francesc Badía with the “Química a l’escola” initiative from the Chemistry Faculty. These visits consist of a talk about the importance of chemistry in our daily life followed by some laboratory demonstrations. They had a wonderful time sharing the virtues of science with young students.
Ana’s work has been published in JACS. In this work, we use the cluster composition to control the Brønsted acidic character of titanium-organic frameworks ultimately leading to great implications in catalysis.
The University of Valencia has awarded Guillermo Gómez an Extraordinary Award for the grades that he obtained in his bachelor’s…
Brent Nannenga, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering in the School for Engineering Matter, Transport and Energy at Arizona State University and a member of The Biodesign Institute’s Center for Applied Structural Discovery, visited us to present the last advances on the use of microcrystal electron diffraction. We are hopeful this will initiate a fruitful collaboration between both groups.
Germán Sastre, tenured scientist at the Instituto de Tecnología Química (ITQ), visited us to discuss on the computational approach to the analysis and understanding of host-guest interactions in soft and hard matter. Thanks for the visit!
Funimat was very actively present at the meeting with the organization of the symposium in Porous Materials (Carlos), oral lectures (Elena, Natalia & María), poster presentations (Belén, Carmen & Ana) and general organization (Violeta, Clara & Sonia). It was great to meet all colleagues in person again!
Javier Castells and Javier López (aka ‘Los Javis’) have been awarded APOST Fellowships from the Generalitat Valenciana to continue their academic careers at the University of Birmingham (UK) and the University of Kyoto (Japan). Congratulations!
Víctor Rubio Giménez has been awarded a fellowship of the CDIGenT program of the Generalitat Valenciana’s GenT Plan for the return to centres in the Valencian Community of talented researchers who have already gained international experience after his postdoctoral stage at KU Leuven. Congratulations Víctor!
Carl Brozek, tenured Associate Professor at the University of Oregon, visited us to reinforce the links between our groups, share time with all team members and present the last advances of his team on understanding conductivity and dynamic bonding in nanoscale MOFs. Thanks a lot for the visit, Carl!
