I am a Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Granada, with a long-standing research career in Computational Chemistry and molecular modeling and design.
Academic Background
I completed my Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Granada in 1994, with a dissertation on ab initio MO calculations on -O-O- systems, under the supervision of Prof. José Molina Molina.
My academic path includes postdoctoral fellowships at Zurich University and Helsinki University, followed by a long-standing academic career at the University of Granada, where I was promoted to Full Professor in 2018.
Research Focus
My main research field is Computational Chemistry. I currently lead the “Grupo de Modelización y Diseño Molecular” (FQM-174), funded by the Andalusian Government.
My work explores molecular modeling, intermolecular interactions, and computational approaches applied to organic chemistry problems.
