Emilio Palomares (Valencia,1974). He studied Biology at the Universitat de València (1997). After graduating he joined Prof. Hermenegildo García's group at the Universitat Politécnica de València where he got his Doctoral Thesis (2001). In 2001 he was awarded with a Marie Curie Fellowship at Imperial College of London (UK). There he began his work with molecular devices for energy conversion, under the direction of Prof. James R. Durrant. In 2004 Emilio was awarded with a Ramón y Cajal Fellowship at the ICMol-UVEG. In April 2006 he took a position at ICIQ, where he currently leads a research group which is focussed on energy conversion devices. In 2009 he was awarded with an ERC starting grant to work on quantum dots for energy conversion devices.
Prof. Palomares has been awarded with the INNOVA 2010 Award by the SusChem Spanish Association and the Young Chemist Award by the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry in 2006.

Research Interests
|
|
|
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.
