Hi, I am Isa!

I am a Junior Leader ‘la Caixa’ Fellow at the Institute of Molecular Science (University of Valencia).

My research is at the interface of the synthesis-properties-function of Metal-Organic Frameworks and combines a fundamental understanding of the effect of synthetic parameters on their self-assembly and resultant properties with applied research in catalysis, drug delivery, gas separation and water treatment.

I am especially curios about the coordination modulation of MOFs and their defect engineering.

Dissemination

I am committed to one of the key targets of Next Generation Europe ‘Science with and for Society’ and I disseminate my project´s results through conferences, publications, and outreaching activities.

Research

My research encloses fundamental research on the self-assembly of MOFs and their resultant properties with applications related to catalysis, gas separation, drug delivery or water treatment.

Funding

I have obtained a number of fellowships including my current Junior Leader ‘la Caixa’ , my foreseen Ramón y Cajal Fellowship and my previous Juan de la Cierva incorporación Fellowship and Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship.

I have also obtained a number of small synchrotron grants to unravel the local structure of my materials.

Team

I am currently a Junior Leader ‘la Caixa’ Fellow of the Institute of Molecular Science from the University of Valencia. I am working towards the establishment of a research group, if you are interested in working with use, please get in touch!

I am always open to collaborations, working towards a faster advancement of science.
