CARMEN PIQUERAS GARCIA

Carmen Piqueras Garcia is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Valencia. She is an active member of the GIQTC (Research Group of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry), contributing to advanced research in computational and theoretical chemical systems.

Her research focuses on the electronic structure of conductive polymers, particularly derivatives of poly(heteroarylene vinylenes), with applications in organic electronics and materials science. Her work lies at the intersection of quantum chemistry, computational modeling, and physical chemistry, emphasizing the theoretical understanding of molecular and electronic behavior in advanced materials.

The trends in her research, though specific publications are not listed, center on theoretical simulations, electronic characterization, and quantum-chemical analysis of conjugated organic systems. This indicates a sustained focus on using computational tools to predict and explain electronic properties in novel polymeric materials.

She earned her PhD from the University of Valencia in 1994 with a thesis titled Characterization of the Electronic Structure of Electrically Conductive Polymers Derived from Poly(heteroarylene vinylenes), supervised by Dr. Francisco Tomás Vert.

• Doctorate: University of Valencia, 1994

There are no listed scientific awards or honors in the available information. No details about student supervision or research grants are provided, though her affiliation with an active research group suggests involvement in collaborative projects and potential advisory roles.

She is a member of the GIQTC Research Group of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, which conducts interdisciplinary research in quantum chemistry, molecular modeling, and the design of functional materials using high-performance computational methods.
