Aitor Maestro was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Autonomous Community, Spain). He obtained his BSc in Chemistry in 2015 at the University of the Basque Country (Spain), where he also completed his MSc in Synthetic Chemistry (2016) working in asymmetric organocatalysis. He then joined Prof. Palacios’s research group at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Basque Country, where he started his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Francisco Palacios and Dr. Javier Vicario, working on enantioselective synthesis of aminophosphonates and organocatalysis. During his graduate studies. He also carried out a research stay in the group of Prof. Syuzanna R. Harutyunyan (University of Groningen, 2019) working on copper-catalyzed enantioselective addition of Grignard reagents. He then returned to Prof. Palacios’s group, where he obtained his PhD in November 2019. His research interests include the development of new enantioselective processes and the synthesis of new bioactive molecules.
