I developed my PhD Thesis at the Universidad de Valladolid on the synthesis of chiral thioureas derived from amino acids and their applications as organocatalysts in enantioselective reactions of interest. Later, as postdoctoral researcher in the groups of Prof. A. S. K. Hashmi and Prof. R. Martín, I developed synthetic methodologies with gold, ruthenium, nickel and palladium catalysis. I then obtained a prestigious Marie-Curie Fellowship to carry out a project of dual enantioselective catalysis (aminocatalysis and metal catalysis with silver and copper) in the laboratories of Prof. D. J. Dixon at Oxford University. After this stage, I joined Prof. J. L. Vicario’s group at the Universidad del País Vasco as a contracted researcher, where I worked on the discovery of new reactivity patterns by enantioselective catalysis by phosphoric acids and by chiral phosphines, as well as on the synthesis of natural products. In October 2019 I joined the Universidad de Alcalá as Assistant Professor. The results of my research are collected in twenty publications, most of them with a high impact rate (ACIE (3), JACS (2), CEJ (3)…). During my research career I have supervised many students during the completion of their Master thesis and Bachelor thesis, as well as during external internships.
