Brief CV

Anna Pla-Quintana (born in 1978 in Banyoles) is a researcher at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) and the Chemistry Department of the University of Girona in Catalonia, Spain.

She earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Girona (2000-2004) under the supervision of Prof. Anna Roglans. During the PhD she developed recoverable catalytic systems for palladium-catalysed reactions using either halides or aryldiazonium salts as electrophiles and also specialised in the study of reaction mechanisms by using the ESI-MS technique. Following the completion of her doctorate, she worked as a lecturer at the same university for nine months before relocating to the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination in Toulouse as a Fundación Ramon Areces fellow, where she collaborated with Dr. Jean-Pierre Majoral and Dr. Anne-Marie Caminade for two years (October 2005-September 2007). During her post-doctoral period, she focused on designing and synthesizing dendrimers with chromophoric units and studying their photophysical properties.

In October 2007, she returned to the University of Girona as a lecturer and later earned a permanent contract in the Chemistry Department after successfully completing a competitive public examination in October 2009. Her research interests encompass methodological development and mechanistic studies of cycloaddition and cycloisomerization reactions of polyunsaturated substrates, particularly with a focus on the use of allenes. She also works on the development of cascade processes based on carbene-alkyne metathesis as a key step, functionalization of carbon allotropes through cycloaddition reactions to prepare functional materials, and the utilization of predictive catalysis as a tool for optimizing and enhancing chemical processes.
