Post doctorate

Pablo Simón Marqués received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. at the University of Zaragoza and the Autonomous University of Madrid, respectively. In 2020, he obtained his PhD from the University of Angers (France) under the supervision of Philippe Blanchard and Clément Cabanetos. Before joining the CEMES-CNRS in 2023, he completed other two postdoctoral experiences at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (Germany) and the University of Calgary (Canada), where he obtained the Eyes-High Fellowship. In 2023, he was awarded with the TIRIS Junior Fellowship Program to continue with his research interests that aim the synthesis of molecular materials with potential application in organic electronics and on-surface synthesis.
