Eugenio Coronado

Eugenio Coronado is a Professor and Director of the Institut de Ciència Molecular (ICMol) at the Universitat de València. He serves as the scientific coordinator of Spain's national complementary R+D plan for Advanced Materials, mobilizing €53 million in funding. His work emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration across materials innovation, sustainability, and energy technologies.

Research focuses include 2D materials (e.g., graphene, CrSBr), spintronics, molecular magnets, and functional nanomaterials. Key projects involve designing tunable magnetic systems, exploring spin transitions in coordination polymers, and developing efficient electrocatalysts for water oxidation. Coronado leads a national network of over 200 research institutions and coordinates master’s programs in advanced materials.

His articles highlight breakthroughs in van der Waals heterostructures, quantum spin effects, and nonlinear magnetoconductivity. Coronado advocates for synergies between academia and industry, aiming to advance Spain’s scientific impact through annual conferences like AMaTs and training initiatives.
