Antonio Leyva-Pérez

Antonio Leyva-Pérez earned his Chemistry degree from the Universitat de València (UV) Spain, then completed a Ph.D. in heterogeneous catalysis under Prof. Hermenegildo García at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Spain. He briefly worked in organometallics at M.I.T. with Prof. Steven L. Buchwald, followed by postdoctoral research at Cambridge under Prof. Steven Ley. In 2008, he joined ITQ to work with Prof. Avelino Corma, later earning a Ramón y Cajal contract (2014), a Distinguished Research position (2016), and tenure (2019). He then founded his own group, "Catalysis For Sustainable Organic Reactions," at CSIC, becoming Research Scientist in 2023. He holds several national research grants and leads industry-funded contracts with international companies.

Belén Lerma-Berlanga

Belén Lerma-Berlanga graduated in Chemistry in 2016 at the University of Valencia (UV), obtaining the Extraordinary Degree Award. In 2017, she started her Ph.D. studies at Instituto de Ciencia Molecular (ICMol) under the supervision of Dr. Carlos Martí Gastaldo and Dr. Natalia Muñoz Padial with a FPU grant from the Spanish government. During this period her work was focused on the design and synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on group IV metals, and the study of their applications in photocatalysis and gas separation. In 2022, Belén completed her Ph.D. with CUM LAUDE qualification and international mention, along with the Best Thesis in Chemistry award from the UV. Later, she joined the Antonio Leyva Pérez´s group at the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ-CSIC) as a postdoctoral researcher with a Juan de la Cierva grant from Spanish government. Her role is to study catalytic processes in industrial valued reactions.
