Dr. Albert Poater (1979) completed his PhD in Chemistry in 2006, directed by Miquel Duran and Miquel Solà, at the University of Girona. After stays in Chile with Alejandro Toro-Labbé; in Montpellier with Odile Eisenstein and a long postdoctorate at the University of Salerno with Luigi Cavallo, in 2010 he became an independent researcher as Ramón y Cajal and JIN in Girona, apart from Visiting Researcher of KAUST in Saudi Arabia and with Remi Chauvin at LCC-CNRS in Toulouse. In general, Dr. Poater has published more than 300 papers, collecting more than 12000 citations (H = 59.64 according to Google Scholar), on DFT calculations on the mechanism of inorganic and organometallic catalysis; and predictive catalysis using tools to describe reactivity. Computational research includes olefin metathesis by Ru-based catalysts or gold chemistry to undertake organometallic reactions and currently switching to green chemistry to remove and/or generate CO2: either water oxidation catalysis or transformation of alcohol into aldehydes with the generation of H2 as an energy source. Recently, research is being framed towards machine learning, making predictive catalysis the most used tool. He is editor and board member of several magazines; and in 2019 he received the ICREA Academia award.
