Dr. Sergio Posada-Pérez carried out his Doctorate studies at the University of Barcelona (2014–2018), supervised by Prof. Francesc Illas, developing new cost-effective catalysts based on transition metal carbide materials to convert harmful greenhouse gases into valuable fuels through ab initio computations. He also received the extraordinary PhD mention award (2017-2018). From July 2018 to June 2021, he led postdoctoral research in Prof. Geoffroy Hautier's group at Université Catholique de Louvain, investigating cathode materials for Li-ion rechargeable aqueous batteries using computational simulations. In 2021, he returned to Catalonia to work at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis, with Juan de la Cierva Formación. He received the prestigious Marie Curie fellowship, opening a new research line to start his independent career in material modelling for energy storage and catalysis applications. He has over 30 publications.
