ICREA Research Professor at ICN (Institut Català de Nanotecnologia). Technology & Engineering
|
Born in L’Escala (Girona) in 1976. He graduated in chemistry at the Universitat de Girona and obtained his Ph.D. in materials science at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona & Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona. He then moved to Northwestern University, where he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the group of professor Chad A. Mirkin. He moved back to the Institut Català de Nanotecnologia (ICN) thanks to a Ramón y Cajal contract, where he funded the Supramolecular NanoChemistry & Materials Group. Since September 2011 he is ICREA Research Professor at the ICN.

Research Interests
|
|
|
My research interests are focused on controlling the supramolecular assembly of molecules, biomolecules, metal ions and nanoscale building blocks at the nanometer length scale for the design and synthesis of novel functional architectures. The use of supramolecular chemistry to control the fabrication of new nanomaterials is a key aspect for the future of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. I am interested in developing new technologies and methodologies that enable the synthesis of complex supramolecular assemblies and bioinspired architectures with unprecedented structures and interesting physical and biological properties. My research group uses the supramolecular chemistry as the underlying approach for controlling and tailoring the architecture and properties of new materials (in close collaboration with private companies) for biomedical (e.g. drug-delivery systems and contrast agents) and encapsulation applications and for developing novel sensor, catalytic and magnetic platforms.
