Alberto Hernán-Gómez Robledo

Alberto Hernán-Gómez Robledo is a Full Professor and Secretary of the Department of Organic and Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Alcalá. His academic career demonstrates steady progression from researcher to principal investigator and departmental leadership. He maintains active collaborations with institutions including University of Girona, University of Strathclyde, and University of Barcelona.

Professor Hernán-Gómez Robledo's research focuses on inorganic and organometallic chemistry, specializing in molecular metal nitrides, oxides/sulfides, and small molecule activation using transition metal complexes. His 'Metalocubanos - Metallocubanes' research group investigates polynuclear metal complexes with redox-active ligands for catalytic applications. His work bridges fundamental synthesis with practical applications in sustainable chemistry, particularly in C-H functionalization and activation of small molecules like N₂ and CO₂.

Analysis of his recent publications (2019-2024) reveals a strong emphasis on sustainable catalytic methodologies using earth-abundant metals, particularly iron. His research demonstrates innovative approaches to C-H functionalization, small molecule activation, and the development of cooperative bimetallic systems. The publications span high-impact journals in chemistry and catalysis, showing consistent contributions to the field.

Professor Hernán-Gómez Robledo has secured significant research funding including:

• Ministry of Science and Innovation project (2023-2025, 197,257 euros)
• Community of Madrid projects (2019-2021, totaling over 200,000 euros)
• Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (2019, 135,321.60 euros)
• Generalitat de Cataluña funding (2017-2018, 86,000 euros)

His advising record includes directing PhD theses, with Mònica Rodríguez Serrat completing her dissertation in 2019. His collaborative publication pattern suggests active student involvement in research projects. The 'Metalocubanos - Metallocubanes' research group provides opportunities for students to engage in cutting-edge inorganic synthesis and catalysis research with potential industrial applications.
