Israel Fernández
University Complutense of Madrid, Spain
Israel Fernández (Madrid, 1977) enjoyed studying Chemistry at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid (UCM). In 2005, he earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry at the UCM under the supervision of Prof. Miguel A. Sierra (with honors), receiving the Lilly-Young Researcher Award. After that, he joined the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry group of Prof. Gernot Frenking at the Philipps Universität Marburg as a postdoctoral researcher studying the bonding situation and reaction mechanisms of organic and organometallic compounds. In 2009, he received the Young-Researcher Award from the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry, the Julián Sanz del Río award in 2011 and the Barluenga's Medal in 2020. At present, I.F. is Profesor Titular at the UCM. His current research includes the computational study of the bonding situation and reaction mechanisms of organic, organometallic, and bio-organic compounds with a special interest in C–C bond-forming processes.
