Biography
Manuel Ángel Fernández-Rodríguez obtained his PhD in Organic Chemistry from the Universidad de Oviedo in 2003 under the supervision of Prof. J. Barluenga and Prof. E. Aguilar developing new cycloaddition processes involving alpha,beta-unsaturated Fischer carbene complexes. After 9 months working for Aventis Pharma, he moved in 2004 to Yale University, where he stayed two years for a postdoctoral position as a MEC/Fullbrigth fellow, working on cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides with thiols under the supervision of Prof. J. F. Hartwig. Then he move back to Spain as a “Juan de la Cierva” researcher in the CSIC (2006–2008). In this period, he worked in the synthesis of push-pull dienynes and their use in gold-catalysis. In 2009, he moved as a “Ramón y Cajal” researcher to Universidad de Burgos where he became Associate Profesor in 2013. In this period, his investigation was focused on organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. In September 2016, he joined Universidad de Alcalá as an Associate Profesor where his research interests cover metal catalysis, organic synthesis and its application in Material Science and Medicinal Chemistry.
During his research career he have been involved in more than 20 research projects (4 as IP) and has published more than 50 scientific publications, including 4 reviews, and 3 book chapters and has registered 8 patents. Interestingly, he shows a h index of 27 and most of his publications (around 90%) are included in the Q1 of their category. In addition, he has directed 3 Doctoral Thesis as well as more than 10 Master Thesis and he is currently the advisor of 4 Doctoral Thesis.
