I obtained my Ph.D. degree in organic chemistry and materials science from the University Jaume I, Castellon (Spain). Over the past years as a result of my intensive research activity, I am co-author of 41 publications in per-reviewed International Chemistry Journals of the highest impact (such as Chem. Commun., Org. Lett., Adv. Synth. Catal., J. Org. Chem., Green Chem., Ind. & Eng. Chem. Res, etc…). In at least four of these publications, I appeared as a senior corresponding author, reflecting my research leadership. In addition, I have given 20 communications and 7 lectures in international conferences and Symposia. During my Ph.D. (1996-2001) I worked in the field of asymmetric synthesis and heterogeneous catalysis. I studied the role played by the support over the outcome of heterogeneous catalysed reaction. I have also worked in the synthesis of small-focused library of supported catalysts as a fast and easy tool for the development of more efficient asymmetric catalysts. I also developed methodologies based on FT-Raman as a simple tool for the fast monitoring of reactions on polymer and silica supported reagents and catalysts. After my Ph.D., I moved to work with one of the world leaders in supercritical fluid, Prof. M. Poliakoff, at the Clean Technology Group at Nottingham University. I was awarded with a very competitive individual Marie Curie Fellowship. During my stay in Nottingham, almost 4 years, I gained experience in a wide range of processes in supercritical water (SCW): reactor design, phase behaviour, oxidation reactions, and High Temperature High Pressure Spectroscopy, which were areas of knowledge completely new for me. Besides, I was involved in the training, mentoring and tutoring of 3 Ph D students, 3 research visitors and two project students. I was also directly involved in join collaboration academy-industry (Invista Tech. Ltd.). I wish to point out the excellent productivity of this period generating 12 publications and 3 patens. There
