He obtained his M.Sc. degree in Organic Chemistry in 2012 at the same university. His master thesis entitled “Synthesis of 1, 4, 5, 8-Tetracarboxylicacid-naphthalenedianahydride (NDA) derivative and study their self-assembly property” was carried out in the group of Prof. Suhrit Ghosh at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, India. He received his Ph.D. degree in the group of Dr. Priyadarsi De in the Department of Chemical Sciences at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Kolkata, India. During his Ph.D., he worked on the synthesis of different fatty acid based polymeric materials by using controlled polymerization technique. Apart from the chemistry he also like playing cricket, listening to music and cooking.
Mridula Nandi
Postdoc, India (IISER Kolkata)
Mridula Nandi was born in 1992 in Kolkata (India). She obtained her BSc degree in Chemistry in 2013 at the University of Calcutta, India. In June 2015, she completed her Master thesis on preparation and characterization of hydrogels at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Kolkata, India. She continued her Doctoral research work at the same institute in the research group of Dr. Priyadarsi De. Her PhD work was mainly focussed on the synthesis and characterization of different polymeric architectures, solution properties (supramolecular self-assembly, stimuli-responsiveness) and applications.
Alex Abramov
PhD student (University of Regensburg)
Alex Abramov was born in 1988 in Nowokuibyschewsk (Russia). He visited the Goethe-Gymnasium in Regensburg and obtained his Abitur in 2008. In 2013 he received his B.Sc. degree in Chemistry at the University of Regensburg. His thesis entitled “Datierung und Validierung von Elefantenelfenbein mittels Isotopenprofil der Nuklide 14C, 90Sr, 228Th, 232Th”and was carried out in the group of Dr. Schupfner. Furthermore, he completed the research internships “Thiocarbonylation of styrene - Synthesis of thioesters” in the group of Dr. Fleischer and “Synthesis of polymers and gelator molecules and application as reaction media for photocatalytic processes” in the group of Prof. Díaz Díaz. In August 2017, he obtained his MSc degree in the group of Prof. Díaz with the thesis entitled: “Gels as nanoreactors for photoinduced processes”. His PhD studies will be conducted in a joint collaboration with Prof. Oliver Reiser.
Besides chemistry he is very much into sports, cooking and reading.

Contratado Laboral Interino (University of La Laguna)
María Sergio J. Álvarez Ménez was born in 1987 in La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain). He received his B.Sc. degree in Chemistry in 2010 at the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL), with honorus "Extraordinary Award to the Best Student's Academic Record". At the same university, he obtained his M.Sc. in Research in Organic Chemistry (2011) and his Ph.D. in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (2016), under the supervision of Prof. Víctor S. Martín and Dra. Celina García. His thesis was entitled "New Synthetic Strategies Oriented to the Obtaining of Structural Fragments Present in Natural Products". During his doctorate he participated in several scientific dissemination sessions, he was member of the Organizing Committee of the annual Congress of Students of the Chemistry School and delegate of the Ph.D. students of the Organic Chemistry Department. After that he worked in the laboratories of the Technical College of Agricutural Engineering of the ULL from May 2016 to January 2020, which research interest in plant physiology. During that time, he also got his M.Sc. in Vegetal Health at the Universidad Politècnica de València (2018).
Diego Walter Allgaier Díaz
PhD student (University of La Laguna)
Diego Walter Allgaier Díaz was born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, in 1992. He has graduated as an environmentalogist in the Degree of Environmental Sciences at the Universidad de La Laguna in 2017 and subsequently obtained the Master's Degree in Pollution, Toxicology and Environmental Health from the Universitat de Valencia in 2018, within the specialty of environmental toxicology. He also has a Certificate of Higher Education in Environmental Chemistry. His Final Degree Project as well as his Master's Degree Final Project dealt with the determination of emerging contaminants using high or ultra high resolution liquid chromatography. Currently, he is starting the PhD in the Doctoral Program of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the Universidad de La Laguna, with focus on synthesis and use of innovative environmentally sustainable materials for later application in different miniaturized techniques of extraction and analysis. His Doctoral Thesis, directed by Dr. Juan Ayala Díaz (Department of Analytical Chemistry; ULL) and Dr. David Díaz Díaz, is centered on the preparation, chemical modification and characterization of hydrogels and biopolymers, as well as their incorporation into analytical chemistry strategies.
José Juan Marrero-Tellado
Associate Professor (University of La Laguna)
José Juan Marrero-Tellado obtained his BSc (1983) in Chemistry from the University of La Laguna (ULL) and his MSc (1984) from the ULL and Instituto de Productos Naturales del CSIC (IPN-CSIC) under the supervision of Profs. Ernesto Suárez and Rosendo Hernández. His MSc thesis was focused on studies of alcoxy radical fragmentation reactions. In 1988, he received his PhD (Outstanding Doctoral Award) from IPN-CSIC-ULL. From 1989 to 1991 he carried out a post-doctoral stay at the University of Oxford (UK) in the group of Prof. Sir J. Baldwin working on alkylation reactions of alpha and beta-bicyclic lactams, studies on the face selection of the process and Cieplak effect. In 1997, he became Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry at ULL. He has been Visiting Professor at University of Stratchclyde working with catalytic antibodies in the group of Prof. C. J. Suckling (Glasgow), at Kekulé-Institut für Organische Chemie und Biochemie Universität, working on the synthesis of molecular knots in the group of Prof. F. Vögtle (Germany), and at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) in the group of Prof. F. Diederich working on the amphiphilic dendrimers as vectors for gene therapy (Switzerland). His research interest is in functional materials.
