Dr. Praxedes Sanchez Mellado , Postdoctoral Scholar
Originally from one of the happiest places in the world: Sevilla (Spain). It was there that I earned my BSc, MSc and PhD degrees. My PhD research focused on to the synthesis of proton responsive transition metal complexes and their application in homogeneous catalysis. And I also received additional training at the University of Pisa and the Vienna University of Technology. As postdoctoral researcher, I have worked in the Prokopchuk group at Rutgers University-Newark (US, 2019-2021) developing novel electrochemical processes involving bio-inspired Earth-abundant complexes, and then I returned to my beloved city for three years, working first in a public-private partnership with a biotech developing new generation of vaccines, and later in the improvement of novel catalytic processes in the field of clean energy. In summer 2024, my scientific journey placed me in the Khusnutdinova group, where I am facing the synthesis of bimetallic complexes. Beyond Chemistry, I have passion for photography, exploring different cultures, watching films and reading.
