Alberto Concellón obtained his PhD in Chemistry in 2018 from the University of Zaragoza, conducting research in the “Liquid Crystals and Polymers (CLIP) Group”, led by Prof. J. L. Serrano. Afterwards, he joined Prof. T. M. Swager’s group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a postdoctoral researcher, focusing on complex smart colloids, chemical sensors, and chiroptical materials. After four years at MIT, he returned to the CLIP Group as a Ramón y Cajal Fellow. His current research focuses on designing functional self-assembled materials to address critical global challenges in soft robotics, organic electronics, point-of-care biosensing, and environmental remediation.
