for updated information about the group.
Jordi gained his undergraduate degree in Chemistry at the University of Barcelona in 2003. He then pursued his studies for a MRes and PhD with a FPU studentship in the group of Prof. Jaume Vilarrasa. In 2010, he was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship to join the group of Prof. Donna Blackmond at The Scripps Research Institute, in California. In 2013, he returned to Europe to join the Chemistry Department at Imperial College London as an IC Junior Research Fellow. In 2016, he was appointed Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at The University of Manchester and promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2020, Reader in 2022 and Full Professor in 2023.
