José Luis Serrano receives the Distinguished Career Award, awarded by the Royal Spanish Society of Chemistry 2022
The researcher of the University of Zaragoza at the Aragon Nanoscience and Materials Institute, INMA (UNIZAR-CSIC), José Luis Serrano Ostáriz, receives the Distinguished Career Award, awarded by the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry, “in recognition of his brilliant and sustained scientific career over time”.
This award is added to other distinctions that José Luis Serrano has received in recent years, including the “Aragón Investiga 2006 Award“, the Ben Sturgeon Chair in 2010 (British Liquid Crystal Society (LCS)), the Freedericksz Medal in 2017 (Russian LCS), and the recent Alfred-Saupe Prize in 2022, awarded by the German LCS and the Alfred-Saupe Foundation.
Professor José Luis Serrano developed his degree and PhD at the University of Zaragoza and obtained the chair of Organic Chemistry at this University in 1996. Since 1984 he has been the leader of the research group “Liquid Crystals and Polymers” (CLIP). This group has gained national and international recognition by developing several pioneering research lines in the area of Liquid Crystals (LCs): Ferroelectric and Antiferroelectric LCs, Metallomersogenic Compounds, Photosensitive LC Polymers, Supramolecular LC Complexes, Functional LCs and more recently working on Nanostructured Dendrimer Materials for biomedical applications. The award winner has so far supervised 32 PhD Theses in these different lines of work, and is the author of more than 400 scientific articles, which have received more than 11,000 citations, six patents (5 international and 1 national) and communicated his scientific results in 8 plenary conferences and 36 invited papers in congresses.
