    Sánchez Costa

    Since 2016, first as Ramon y Cajal Fellow and now as a Researcher, Dr. José Sanchez Costa established a research group at IMDEA Nanociencia called Switchable NanoMaterials (SNM). In these 9 years, He obtained his own funding sources and engaged in training scientists. At present, the team is composed of: 3 Ph.D students (Mr. J. Sangrador, Ms. P. Jimenez, and Mrs. J. Parnell) and 5 postdocs (Dr. E. Resines, Dr. S. Gullace, Dr. R. Utrera, Dr. B. Szydlowska, and Dr. R. Turo). He published 97 articles in high-quality international journals of high impact factor, i.e. JACS, ACIE, Nat Comm, Adv. Mat., Adv. Science, Chem. Soc. Rev., Coor. Chem. Rev., Chem. Sci, receiving more than 3900 citations and with an h-index of 37 (more than 87% of the publications are in Q1). He attended more than 50 international congresses (30 oral communications), and participated in a total of 24 projects (2 International, 5 European, 11 national and 4 regional projects).

    Sangrador Pérez

    Jorge Sangrador finished his Chemistry degree in 2020 and obtained his master in Applied Chemistry in 2021, both from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. He made his final grade and master projects in the synthesis of Lanthanide MOFs in the application of selective sensors under the supervision of the Dr. Sánchez Costa. Currently he is making his PhD in the synthesis and characterization of novel inorganic polymers for application as selective gas sensors.

    Parnell

    Jaclyn Parnell received her Bachelor’s degree from Willamette University (OR, USA) in 2017 with a double major in physics and chemistry with a minor in math. During her undergrad, she did two internships: firstly as a chemical engineer intern at the Hanford Nuclear Site, and secondly as an atmospheric chemist intern at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Later, she moved to the University of New Mexico (NM, USA) to work in Dr. Rack’s group on correlating the nuclear and electronic structure of Ruthenium Sulfoxide complexes, where she graduated with her Master’s in Chemistry in 2020. Afterwards, she worked as an associate scientist at STA Technolgies. In October 2023, she joined the Switchable Nanomaterials Group at IMDEA Nanociencia as a PhD Student. She is currently investigating Spin Crossover tetrazole-based MOFs for sensing applications.

    Jiménez Hernández

    Patricia Jiménez obtained her degree in Chemistry (2023) and her Master’s degree in  Applied Chemistry (2024) from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. In addition to this Master’s degree, she especialized in molecular and materials chemistry. She did her end-of-degree and her end-of-master’s degree projects in synthesis of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) for toxic molecules detection under supervision of Dr. Jose Sánchez Costa, gaining experience in the field of complexes synthesis and usual characterization techniques. Subsequently, she completed an internship at Advanced Porous Materials Unit (AMPU) at IMDEA Energía under the supervision of Dr. Khaled Hassanein, where she developed Ionic conductive materials: Fuel cells and electrolyzers by synthesizing MOFs with enhamced stability and high proton conductivity. Currently, she is doing her PhD on luminescence MOFs to develop sensors for atmospheric pollutants, completing her work done during her end-of-degree and end-of-master’s degree projects.
