Biography

Professor of Inorganic Chemistry and Director of the Molecular Nanotechnology Lab, a world-leading research center working on the synthesis and application of nanostructured materials for the sustainable production of chemicals and energy at the University of Alicante, Spain.

Founder of Rive Technology, a technology-based company that commercializes nanostructured catalysts that significantly reduce CO2 emissions while increasing energy efficiency. In 2019, W. R. Grace acquired this technology and now commercializes it globally.

President of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Before that, he served as vice-president, a member of the Executive Committee, and vice-president of the Division of Inorganic Chemistry.

His contributions to catalysis, energy, and chemistry have been recognized with some of the most prestigious awards including 1) Innovator of the Year, 2007, by MIT, 2) Member of the Round Table of Top Entrepreneurs, 2008, by the European Commission, 3) Young Global Leader, 2009, by the World Economic Forum, 4) Emerging Researcher Award, 2015, and Kathryn C. Hach Award for Entrepreneurial Success, 2018, by the American Chemical Society, 5) Premio Rey Jaime I, 2014, 6) Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Chemical Society  and 7) vice president of the Council of Emerging Technologies of the World Economic Forum, 2011.
