Biography

Juan Pedro completed his Chemistry MSc in Universidad Complutense de Madrid (2001), University where he got his PhD for his dissertation entitled Synthesis, phase transition, and orientation effect in liquid crystal polymers, research performed in Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Polímeros (CSIC) in Madrid. After his PhD he continued his work in Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Polímeros during 2006 and 2007. In 2008 he worked as postdoctoral researcher in College of Engineering of Florida State University in Tallahassee. In 2009 he was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship by Von Humboldt Foundation for his research in Max Planck Institut für Polymerforschung in Mainz, where he worked until at the end of 2011. Nowadays he works as postdoctoral researcher in IMDEA Materials Institute. His research on polymeric materials links him equally to the groups of Multifunctional Nanocomposites, Nano- architectures, High-performance nanocomposites and Structural Composites.
