Our research interest span from the development of new catalysts based on transition metals, mechanistic investigations and the design of new synthetic protocols.
The primary aim of the research group is to develop efficient, robust, and sustainable methodologies for synthesis, while unraveling the mechanistic complexities involved.
Andreu graduated in Chemistry from the University of Valencia in 2015, when he moved to Tarragona to to work under the supervision of Professor Ruben Martin in the development of Nickel catalyzed carboxylation and amidation reactions, including the implementation of isotope-labelling techniques. In July 2021, he joined the group of Professor Eva Hevia at the University of Bern to work on cooperative bimetallic chemistry, with a focus on their catalytic applications. In 2024 he got an Ambizione Project to become a junior group leader at the University of Fribourg in January 2025.
