Research Team

Gregorio Guisado-Barrios graduated in Chemistry in 2003 at the University of Burgos, Spain. In 2004, he worked at the Institute of Chemistry and Dynamics of Geosphere, Forschungzentrum Jülich, Germany as Laboratory Assistant, under supervision of Dr. Jean M. Séquaris. He was awarded his Ph.D (2010) at St Andrews University (Scotland, UK) under the supervision of Dr. David T. Richens. At the same institution he also worked as Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the group of Prof. Paul J. C. Kamer. Then he joined Prof. Guy Bertrand’s group, now at University of California San Diego (US) as a Postdoctoral Researcher. In 2012 he joined Prof. Eduardo Peris’ group at the Institute of Advance Materials (INAM)- Jaume I University (UJI), first as UJI-postdoctoral researcher, then as “Juan de la Cierva-Fellow". During this period, he was awarded with the "José Castillejo Mobility Felloship 2016" to carry out a (3) months research stay in the group of Prof. Vincent Lavallo, University of California Riverside (US). From 2019 till early 2021, he has worked as JIN-Fellow funded by (MICIU-Retos de Investigación-JIN) at UJI prior his incorporation to the University of Zaragoza-CSIC as “Ramón y Cajal” Fellow.

Marta Martín studied Chemistry at the University of Zaragoza and obtained her Bachelor in Science Degree in 1989, and her Ph. D. in chemistry in 1993 under the supervision of Professors Mª Pilar García and Miguel A. Esteruelas. This was followed by a two-years post-doctoral stay in Würzburg (Germany) with Prof. H. Werner. Back to the University of Zaragoza as associate lecturer, and after consecutive eventual positions, she became Ramón y Cajal Researcher at the ICMA (Institute of Materials Science of Aragón) in 2003, and CSIC Tenured Scientist in 2006. Nowadays she works at the ISQCH (Institute of Chemical Synthesis and Homogeneous Catalysis), in the group “Catalysts & Mechanisms”. The expertise of the group is centered on the synthesis of new transition metal complexes and the mechanistic investigation of bond cleavages and formations mediated by them. The ultimate goal of this research is the design of new functional ligands and more efficient catalysts.
