Irene Casademont Reig

Irene received her PhD in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modeling from Universidad del País Vasco (Spain) in 2021 under the supervision of Dr. Eduard Matito Gras and Dr. Eloy Ramos Cordoba. In March 2022, she joined the ALGC group as a postdoctoral researcher under the supervision of Prof. Mercedes Alonso.

Irene's research is focused on exploration of the excited-state aromaticity to manipulate the excited-state energy levels and stability of porphyrinoid macrocycles to design promising building blocks as singlet-fission materials.
