Dr Joaquín Ortega Castro
Curriculum
Brief CV
I hold a Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences, awarded by the University of Granada in 2007. Complementing my academic journey, I undertook three research staysone at the University of Friedrich Alexander Erlangen-Nürnberg and two at the University of Cambridge. My research portfolio encompasses the publication of 98 scientific articles and successful membership of 13 funded scientific projects.
With a notable background in academia, I have earned recognition through the achievement of two consecutive six-year research periods and four six-year teaching periods. My expertise lies in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry.
Having directed three doctoral theses, four Master's theses (TFM), and five Bachelor's theses (TFG), I am dedicated to fostering academic excellence and guiding the next generation of scholars. Currently serving as the local coordinator of the Master's Degree in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modeling (TCCM), I continue to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in my field.ORCID: 0000-0001-8131-0315, ResearcherID: L-4956-2014, Scopus Author ID: 25121999400.
In the past, I am covered various fields of study such as Environment Activity, Solid State or Biological systems with different national and international research groups, in all cases I am the first computational author of the collaboration.
Environment Activity. I worked in other fields within the environment. In the first we explore explored for selective visual detection and effective removal of Hg2+ in aqueous medium, the second collaboration studied emerging organic contaminants in lipid membranes. In the Solid State field, I studied CO2 adsorption over a porous framework solid, or energy halide perovskite system. I studied improvement of photo-switch material with interesting photochemical and photophysical properties, with potential applications as light-emitting diodes (Schottky diode), luminescent probes, charge transport and photovoltaic devices are currently of great interest to the scientific community, disseminated through the usual channels of the scientific community. I studied surface adsorption of organic molecules on mineral. I worked on a public-private collaboration with the company Sanifit S.L. (2017-2021) for the study of a group of compounds as possible crystallization inhibitors. The collaboration was produced due to the interest of this company in work carried out in 2017 with pharmaceutical compounds. This work was part of the doctoral thesis in which I was director.
