Emilio Palomares was born in Valencia in 1974. He studied Biology (Biochemical speciality) at the Universitat de València (1997). After graduating he joined the group of Prof. Hermenegildo García at the Universitat Politécnica de València where he got his Doctoral Thesis (2001). In 2001 he made a postdoctoral stay with a Marie Curie Fellowship at the Centre for Electronic Materials and Devices of the Imperial College in London (UK). There he began his work with molecular and biomolecular devices to convert sun-light into electricity and fuel, under the direction of Prof. James R. Durrant.
In 2004 Emilio was awarded with a Ramón y Cajal Fellowship at the Universitat de València joining the Institut de Ciència Molecular of this University. In April 2006 he took a position at ICIQ, where he currently leads a research group which is focussed on the investigation of the optoelectronic properties of molecular and biomolecular devices (photovoltaic devices and optical sensors).

Research Interest
|
|
|
My research is focused on several aspects of light induced electron transfer reactions in supramolecular structures and nanostructured inorganic materials. Such research activity has evolved towards the control and improvement of the reactions that govern the efficiency on molecular and supramolecular optoelectronic devices such as molecular solar cells – strategy which holds the promise for the achievement of low cost light-to-energy conversion devices- and the creation of new hybrid nanomaterials for hydrogen production and molecular based sensing devices to detect toxic substance on the environment.
