Patrick S Barber
My professional goals center around the intertwined areas of research and education within science. I am passionate about discovering new science that addresses global needs and sharing these discoveries with a broad audience. I'm committed to technical excellence and exploration in the laboratory and enjoy learning new techniques that increase the breadth of my interdisciplinary background. As a scientist and educator, I want to promote the power of the scientific method through discussion of scientific literacy across disciplines and increase the general awareness of the importance of critical thinking. I seek to develop a balance between my professional life and my personal life in order to maintain a well-rounded view which will result in increased communication, productivity, and organizational skills, as well as to being open to new ideas and cultures, and, ultimately, to contribute to my community and society.

His first postdoctoral stage was at Stanford University (2007-2010) working on spectroscopic studies and theoretical modeling of copper metalloproteins, under the supervision of Prof. Edward I Solomon. Later, he moved to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), for a second postdoctoral stage at Prof. Francesco Paesani ́s group, working in the development and implementation of novel methodologies for the computational modeling of spin-crossover processes in Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). He has been visiting researcher at the Max-Planck Institute für Festkörperforschung (MPG-FKF) in Stuttgart and the Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux (ICPMS) in Strasbourg, under the supervision of Prof. Jens Kortus, developing new methods for the calculation of the zero-field splitting parameters in transition metal compounds. Dr. Cirera has been awarded with several grants, including a PhD grant from the Spanish government, a grant from Generalitat de Catalunya for his first postdoctoral stage, and a Beatriu de Pinos/Marie Curie COFUND fellowship grant. He has been speaker at 32 conferences and invited speaker at 5 seminars in international research centers, and is co-author of 36 publications in peer review journals (h-index 21, total citations 2371, 7 as a corresponding author) and two book chapters.

Marco Evangelisti
I am a senior staff scientist at the Institute of Nanoscience and Materials of Aragón, within the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and I am affiliated to the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Zaragoza.
I hold a Laurea (Bachelor’s degree) from the University of Camerino (1996) and a joint PhD degree awarded by the Universities of Leiden and Zaragoza (2001). I worked at the University of Leiden (2001–2004) and the CNR Institute of Nanoscience in Modena (2004–2009), before joining the Institute of Nanoscience and Materials of Aragón as a "Ramón y Cajal" CSIC Fellow. I tenured as a CSIC scientist in 2010, becoming senior scientist in 2017.
I am an experimental physicist with a keen interest in caloric materials and in the development of advanced instrumentation.
Sherif Ashraf Fahmy
Dr. Sherif Ashraf Fahmy obtained his B. Pharm with honors from the Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University, and his MSc (2015) and Ph. D. (2020) in Chemistry from The American University in Cairo. His Ph. D. was conducted in collaboration with the Department of Pharmaceutics & Biopharmaceutics, Faculty of Pharmacy, Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany. Dr. Fahmy was selected as one of the first recipients of the prestigious and very competitive fellowship offered by the Alfi Foundation for Ph.D. students.

Jorge Gonzalez Garcia
I obtained my PhD from the University of Valencia (Spain) focused on Supramolecular & Bioinorganic Chemistry, in which I worked in metalloenzymes mimetics and anion receptors. Upon completing my PhD in 2013, I performed several postdoctoral research positions in the University of Kansas (USA) and Institute Curie (France), in which I specialized in the development of drugs for non-canonical nucleic acids such as G-quadruplexes, triplexes or i-motifs. Then, I joined the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London as Newton Fellow to develop new tools to target and visualize G-quadruplexes in cells. I continued my projects as IdEx Fellow in the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology in Bordeaux (France). Actually, I’ve started my team in the Institute of Molecular Science in the University of Valencia, where I’ve developed novel systems and methodologies to target non-canonical DNA structures and unravel their biological roles.
