Scientific Specialization
Main Scientific
Areas of Research
-
During my training, I have acquired solid background and
experience in Material Science, Inorganic and Organic chemistry with a
strong component in the preparative chemistry and magnetism of molecular
materials. My present research interests are related with the synthesis of
new molecular magnetic materials and the crystal engineering of these
materials based on the physical-crystal structure correlation studies.
