Lecturer Professor & Junior Research Group Leader
Ángel started his junior group under the umbrella of a JIN National Project funded by the Ministerio Ciencia e Inovación (MICIN) & Agencia Estatal de Investigation (AEI) in January 2022. After finishing his PhD at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM, Spain) in 2014, Ángel joined the group of Prof. Petr Nachtigall at Charles University in Prague (CUNI, Czech Republic) as postdoc during 2.5 years. Since 2017, Ángel manages his research studies, as JdC-Formación (2 years) plus JdC-Incorporación (2 years + COVID extension) under the supervision of Prof. Francesc Illas and now as Junior Leader, at the University of Barcelona (UB, Spain) & Institut of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (IQTC). Angel is Lecturer Professor since October 2022.
