Dr. César Moreno received his degree in Fundamental Physics in 2005 at UC. He earned his Ph.D in Material Science at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB) in 2010 by the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and he moved as postdoctoral researcher at the Nano-engineering research center at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (CRNE-UPC).
After two years, he was awarded with a tenure track position (ICYS) at the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba-Japan, and he was also promoted as permanent researcher. After nearly 3 years living in Japan, he then moved back to Barcelona where he worked as a senior researcher. There, his work focused in the atomically precise manufacturing of low-dimensional organic materials for applications in nanoelectronics, sensors and advanced filtration.
In 2018 he was awarded with the Molecule of the Year by the C&EN of the American Chemical Society and in 2019 with the Spanish Vanguard of Science award and the Distinguished Research Award by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). At present he is at the University of Cantabria as Ramón y Cajal Research fellow.
