Institute of Chemical Technology (UPV-CSIC)
Valencia, Universitat Politècnica de València, Avd. de los Naranjos s/n, 46022 Valencia (Spain), Spain
The Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ) is a joint research centre created in 1990 by the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) located at the UPV Campus. The ITQ is an international reference centre in the area of catalysis, new materials and photochemistry. Due to its excellent fundamental and oriented research level and to its multidisciplinary character, the ITQ has the possibility to develop research in different disciplines having an extraordinary flexibility and capability to adapt itself to new research challenges. The ITQ has more than 200 researchers from all over the World including CSIC and UPV research professors, tenured scientists, invited professors but also engineers, technicians, administrative staff and finally many post- and pre-doctoral students. The research at ITQ is carried out through Regional, National and European funded grants and also through some projects funded by own resources. Besides, ITQ obtains a substantial part of its funding from R&D agreements with multinational companies from all around the World. Finally, it is to be mentioned that part of the revenues of ITQ come from royalties of licensed technologies developed at the institute. ITQ offers an appropriate environment for the formation of technician and scientists through doctoral theses, masters in science, final year projects, and postdoctoral stays, both in the fields of basic and applied research.

About supervisors
- Dr. Urbano Díaz has been working as a CSIC Scientific Researcher at the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ) since 2004. He studied Chemical Sciences at the University of Valencia and obtained his doctorate in 2002 in the field of delaminated zeolites in the Polytechnic University of Valencia. He obtained a Marie Curie post-doctoral fellowship developed at EniTecnologie (Eni SpA) in Milan, Italy, working on catalytic applications of hybrid porous materials. He is working in the field of multi-functional hybrid materials, lamellar solids, nanocomposites and biomaterials with catalytic and nanotechnological applications. // Dr. Marta Feliz is a CSIC Tenured Scientist at the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ) since 2009. She studied Chemical Sciences and completed her PhD at the Universitat Jaume I (Spain, 2003) in the synthesis of molybdenum and tungsten cluster materials. She was specialized in the field of computational chemistry after 2 postdoctoral stays at ICIQ (Spain) and ICGM (France) during 2004-2007. Currently, she works in the design and development of transition metal-based materials, their reactivity and photocatalytic applications in the fields of fine chemistry, green fuels and environmental concerns. // M. E. Domine completed his PhD at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain) in 2003, and postdoctoral studies at the IRCELYON-CNRS (France, 2005-07). Since 2009, he re-joined the Instituto de Tecnología Química (UPV-CSIC) of Valencia, Spain as Scientific Researcher of CSIC. His current research involves the synthesis and characterization of solid materials for different applications, such as catalysts in sustainable chemical processes for renewable raw materials (i.e. biomass) transformations into fuels and valuable chemicals. // Javier Hernández Gil is a María Zambrano’s program distinguished researcher at ITQ. As a result of various stays in top-level international centers (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Imperial College London,...) he has extensive experience in various fields of Chemistry, such as inorganic/organic Chemistry, Chemistry of materials and/or radiochemistry. During the last years, his research interests have focused on the development of new strategies to improve the early diagnosis of cancer and/or overcome the current limitations in the treatments against this disease. // Fernando Ramiro Manzano is a Tenured Scientist of the CSIC since November of 2021. He holds a degree in Industrial Engineering, Master equivalent in Telecomunications and PhD defended in Applied Physics (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2008). He worked as Marie Curie PostDoc fellowship at University of Trento (Italy, 2011) and assistant professor (2013), and in 2017 he returned to Valencia ITQ and ICMOL. His current research is focused in Photonics (microspherical resonators, self-assembled colloidal structures, on-chip and 2D photonics) and Material Sciences (mainly working and collaborating in the field of chemistry)
