CV

Aurelio Mateo-Alonso (1976, Madrid, Spain) obtained his BSc (1999) and MSc (2000) degrees in Organic Chemistry at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). In 2003, he completed his PhD at Queen Mary College, University of London (UK), under the supervision of Prof. James Utley and Dr. Peter Wyatt. Between 2004 and 2009, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher through different placements in the group of Prof. Maurizio Prato at Università di Trieste (Italy). Since 2009, he leads an independent research group at the School of Soft Matter Research of the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (Germany). He has been awarded with the Young Investigator Prize of Università di Trieste (2007), the Eugen-Graetz Prize of Universität Freiburg in (2009), and the RSEQ-Sigma-Aldrich Young Investigator Prize of the Spanish Royal Chemical Society (2011). His research interests focus on the chemistry and supramolecular chemistry of flat and curved aromatic molecules and on their implementation in molecular devices and machines.

 

FRIAS Project

Research in our group is primarily aimed toward the development and applications of molecular machines. Molecular machines are molecular scale devices that carry out tasks derived from the motion or the displacement of their different counterparts. The preparation of new molecular machines is being explored together with their potential applicability in different fields.
