Enric Canadell

Enric Canadell is a Research Professor at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), working at the Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona since 1996. He has held leadership roles including Head of the Materials Science and Technology Department (1996-2001) and served as Spanish Delegation Head at the European Synchrotron Research Facility (2003-2005).

• Ph.D. in Chemistry, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (1976)
• Licenciatura en Ciencias Químicas, Universidad de Barcelona (1972)

His research focuses on the electronic structure of low-dimensional materials, particularly transition metal oxides/chalcogenides, molecular conductors/superconductors, and III-VI layered semiconductors. He investigates structure-property relationships in materials, with special emphasis on electronic instabilities and metallic Zintl phases.

Among his 392 publications (8300 citations, h-index 49) are studies on:

• Electronic structure modeling of molecular conductors
• Dimensionality effects in low-dimensional metals
• Correlation between crystal structure and physical properties

Scientific recognitions:

• Rochat-Julliard Physics Prize (1995)
• Member, Academia Europeae (2013)
• Doctor Honoris Causa, Université de Rennes 1 (2017)

He has held editorial and evaluation roles, including Co-editor of Europhysics Letters (2005-2010) and member of the French ANR Chemistry Committee (2007-2009).
