Research

Antonio Rodriguez-Fortea graduated in Chemistry in 1996 at the University of Barcelona.
In 2001, he obtained his PhD degree from the same university under the supervision of Prof. Pere Alemany in the research group of Prof. Santiago Alvarez. Afterwards, he did a post-doctoral stay of two years in the group of Prof. M. Parrinello (ETH Zurich) in Lugano.
At the end of 2004, he joined the group of Prof. J. M. Poblet at the Rovira i Virgili University (Tarragona) as a Tenure-Track Lecturer in Physical Chemistry.
In 2006 he obtained a Ramón y Cajal contract to work in the same group and since 2011 he is an Associate Professor in Physical and Inorganic Chemistry department at the same university.

His research field is theoretical inorganic chemistry with special interest in endohedral metallofullerenes and other carbon nanoforms, NMR properties and formation mechanisms of polyoxoanions, dynamic processes in molecular rotors and exchange coupling in polynuclear and extended structures.
