Dr Carlos Martín-Fernández C.Martin-Fernandez@hw.ac.uk Carlos' research concerns the modelling of C–H activation using transition metals, with particular focus on the impact of dispersion effects for modulating the reactivity. He is working in collaboration with the group of Igor Larrosa at the University of Manchester. Carlos obtained his PhD from KU Leuven (Belgium) under the supervision of Profs. Jeremy Harvey and Kristine Pierloot studying the electronic structure of transition metal complexes with DFT and ab initio methods. Before that, he studied the Erasmus Mundus Master's in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modeling (EMTCCM) in Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain) and worked as a predoctoral researcher at CSIC under the supervision of Prof. Ibon Alkorta. | ||
