Nominator's project description
| Professor Nazario Martín León, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain Professor Martín León is an international expert in the covalent and supramolecular construction of carbon rich materials. The multi-disciplinary research program of Professor Martin Leon has become known for both synthetic breakthroughs as well as the discovery of new and useful organic materials with applications to photovoltaics and nanoscience. In particular, he has made seminal research contributions to the study of carbon nanostructures (namely fullerenes and nanotubes), pi-conjugated systems used as molecular wires, and electroactive molecules such as tetrathiafulvalenes in the context of photoinduced electron transfer processes. During his stay in Germany, he plans to participate in a tutorial course on "Nanocarbon Chemistry" directed to PhD students. He will also strengthen collaborative research projects already established with German groups as well as initiate new collaborations; his position as vice-director of the new Institute IMDEA-Nanoscience in Madrid will certainly help with these goals. |
