I obtained my Ph.D. with a CAIB fellowship in Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry from the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) in 2010, receiving the Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award. Subsequently, I completed two postdoctoral stays in leading international groups: the first with Prof. T. Kato (University of Tokyo, 2011–2015), working on liquid crystals, and the second with Prof. F. Würthner (University of Würzburg, 2015–2016), focusing on chromophore assembly. In 2016, I began my independent research as a Junior Group Leader at the Center for Nanosystems Chemistry (Germany). In 2017, I returned to UIB, where I started a Ramón y Cajal (RyC) fellowship in 2019 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2023.

Throughout my research career, I have developed a multidisciplinary profile, building on a strong foundation in organic chemistry that has expanded into supramolecular chemistry and materials science. This evolution has enabled me to gain expertise in using various instrumental techniques, including spectroscopy, microscopy, calorimetry, and X-ray analysis. My main scientific achievements as a researcher focus on ionic liquid crystals, liquid-crystalline dyes, pathway complexity, and 2D supramolecular assemblies.

To date, I have published 4 patents and more that 50 articles in international journals, with 75% of these articles appearing in top decile journals, reflecting the high quality of my research. Additionally, in recent years, I have delivered over more than 20 oral presentations at national and international conferences and have received several awards and fellowships, including the Ramón y Cajal Fellowship (2017), and the “Consolidación Investigadora” Grant (2022). In recent years, I have led several research projects, including competitive grants such as “Proyectos I+D+i” (2019, 2022), “Proyectos TED” (2021), and a transnational project under the ERA4Health call, set to begin in 2025.
