Carlos graduated from the University of Zaragoza in 2014 with a degree in Chemistry. After an internship in the ICB-CSIC (Carbon-Chemistry Institute), he achieved a Master’s Degree in Molecular Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis. His final year projects were focused on the total synthesis of natural products. He is currently working on the detection of toxins in drinking water using organic molecules as colorimetric sensors. Carlos enjoys spending his time reading, travelling and climbing.
