Lecture: "Molecular Spins in 2D Materials"

ShortBiography: Eugenio Coronado is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Universidad de Valencia and Director of the Institute for Molecular Science (ICMol) and of the European Institute of Molecular Magnetism (EIMM). Expert in Molecular Magnetism, his recent research interests lie in the areas of Molecular Spintronics, quantum computing and 2D magnetic materials. To develop these research lines, he has been financed by the European Research Council (ERC) since 2009 with the ERC Advanced grants SPINMOL and MOL-2D.

With over 600 publications amassing >30.000 citations and an H-index of 84, his scientific impact has been recognized in Spain and abroad through various research prizes. That includes the Prize of research in New Technologies “Rey Jaume I” (2003), the National Prize of research in Chemical Sciences (2009), the medal of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (2009) and the medal of the Royal Society of Physics (2019), among others. In Europe he has been nominated member of the Academia Europaea (2009) and has been the recipient of a Van Arkel Chair in the Leiden Institute of Chemistry (2003) and a “Blaise Pascal” International Chair in France (2014).
