ICREA Research Professor at ICIQ (Institut Català d'Investigació Química). Experimental Sciences & Mathematics
|
J.R. Galán-Mascarós received his education in Chemistry at the University of Valencia and Imperial College (London). He received his PhD in 1999 at the University of Valencia with Prof. E. Coronado. Between 1999 and 2002 he performed a post-doctoral stay at Texas A&M University (College Station) working with Prof. Kim R. Dunbar in the development of molecule-based magnets. In 2002 he joined ICMOL (U. de Valencia) as Ramón y Cajal Fellow to work in multifunctional molecule-based materials.
In 2009 he took a position at ICIQ, where he currently leads a research group focused on future applications of coordination chemistry for Energy and Materials Sciences.
In september 2010 he became ICREA Research Professor.
Galán-Mascarós has received several awards including the Olivier Kahn International Award (2008) and a 2011 ERC Starting Grant to develop his project: Building-up Chemical Complexity into Multifunctional Molecule-based Hybrid Materials.

Research Interests
|
|
Our main interest is the development of molecular materials with the desired chemical and physical properties from Coordination Chemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry for novel applications in the fields of Materials Sciences and Renewable energies.
In Energy, we are interested in the development of structural and functional mimics of the active site of Photosystem II, the inorganic cluster responsible for the catalysis of water oxidation.
In Materials Sciences, we are designing multifunctional molecule-based materials able to present novel physical phenomena from unusual combination of properties (redox, magnetic, electrical and/or optical, etc...).
