Funimat was present at the International Symposium on Composites of Metal and Covalent Organic Frameworks held in Granada. Carlos delivered a keynote lecture on Charge Transport in Ultrathin films of Metal-Organic Framewors. For more details see here.
Katherine Mirica (Dartmouth College) visited us and presented the recent advances of her team on conductive metal-organic frameworks to develop advanced sensory platforms. We are hopeful this will initiate a fruitful collaboration between both groups.
Victor has officially become Dr. Rubio-Giménez after defending his PhD Thesis. The jury was formed by Prof. Mirica, Medina and Gándara. Victor will continue his work on conductive and magnetic MOFs until September 2019 when he will join Ameloot´s group at Leuven with a FWO Fellowship. Congratulations!
Isabel and Francisco have been awarded the Marie Curie and La Caixa Junior Leader Fellowships, respectively. These are very competitive calls that highlight their excellent scientific and academic performance. Congratulations!
Carlos joined Yaghi´s lab at UC Berkeley as a visiting scholar to discuss on potential collaborations on water adsorption and CO2 reduction with heterometallic titanium organic frameworks. Thanks for the invitation!
FuniMAT was present at the International Symposium Polymat-Spotlight devoted to 2D and Porous Polymers. Carlos delivered a keynote lecture on Charge Transport in Ultrathin films of Metal-Organic Frameworks
Kim Jelfs (Imperial College of London) and Martijn Zwijnenburg (University College London) visited us to lecture on the recent advances of their teams on the modelling of porous cages and high-throughput screening pf polymer photocatalysts. We are hopeful this will initiate a fruitful collaboration between both groups.
MOF ultrathin films. Victor presented our recent work on spin-crossover materials at the nanoscale. For more details see here
Carlos visited the Universidad de Granada (Prof. Jorge A. R. Navarro) to present our research on lateral and vertical charge-transport in ultrathin MOF films.
With the help of the venture fund BeABLE Capital, Carlos has founded Porous Materials and Advanced Applications, S.L. The company has been certified as spin-off of the Universidad the Valencia and right after its birth has been recognized with the VLC Start Up award organised by the Parc Científic.
