Xabier Rodríguez Martínez

UDC-InTalent Associate Researcher.

Xabier Rodríguez completed his PhD in Materials Science at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) in 2020. He did a postdoc in Linköping University (Sweden) and earned a Humboldt postdoctoral fellowship to work in Heidelberg University (Germany). From July 2024, he is UDC-InTalent Associate Researcher.

His research interests are advanced (high-throughput) solution processing methodologies, spectroscopy and machine-learning methods applied onto experimental datasets. His current research focus is on understanding the relationship between photoactive layer microstructure and stability in organic solar cells.

Matteo Sanviti

Post-doctoral researcher

Jesika Asatryan

Pre-doctoral researcher

Jesika is a materials engineer specialized in Polymer Physics and Rheological analysis of complex materials at the universities of Sorbonne Paris Cité and A Coruña.

She aims at understanding properties of semiconducting polymers (thermal, mechanical, electrical, barrier, etc.)  on the basis of the semi-paracrystalinity framework

Josep Tent Pérez

Pre-doctoral researcher

Josep is a chemical engineer graduated on the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV).

After the completion of his bachelor's degree, he went on to earn the M. SC on chemical engineering at the University of Granada (UGR). Josep aims at understanding the relationship between processing conditions and microstructure as well as the thermotropic behaviour of thin-film semiconductor polymers.

Mª de los Ángeles (Marián) Prada Cortés

Pre-doctoral researcher

After graduating and obtaining a Degree in Chemistry by the University of Málaga, Marián went on to get a Master’s Degree in Applied Chemistry by the Universities of Málaga, Córdoba, Jaén and Huelva, with a specialization in surface characterization. Her ultimate research goal would be the better understanding of the structure and properties of organic polymers by their analysis using atomic force microscopy.
She spends her spare time as an activist, aiming for a better world through the sharing of kindness and knowledge.

Francisco Blanco Vázquez

Undergraduate Student

Francisco is a chemistry student currently pursuing his bachelor's degree at the University of A Coruña. He is conducting research on the crystallization kinetics of a semiconductor polymer from a macroscopic perspective as part of his thesis project.

Juan José Sánchez

Project Manager

Experienced project assistant and communications professional with an MSc in Innovation Management. After working for six years on campaigns and strategies for social impact projects and learning processes for gender equality in organizations, he moved to the scientific and health research sector in Galicia, where he focused on the transfer of results and public relations.
