Biography
Prof. Julia Pérez-Prieto is the leader of the Photochemical Reactivity Group at the Institute of Molecular Science of the University of Valencia (http://jperezprieto-prg.com). She has been a full Professor at the University of Valencia since 2007. Prof Perez-Prieto is the coordinator of the “Sustainable Chemistry” Doctorate at the University of Valencia. Dr. Perez-Prieto was the President of the European Photochemistry Association from July 2016 to July 2018. Prof Perez-Prieto’s research interests are currently focused on the design and synthesis of new photoactive materials for application in sensing, photocatalysis, bioimaging, singlet oxygen generation, emissive devices, among others. She has gained experience in the preparation of functional nanosystems based on semiconducting nanoparticles (organolead halide perovskites), metal (gold nanoparticles and gold nanoclusters), and upconversion nanoparticles. Her current research focuses on the development of tailor-made advanced photoactive nanosystems to address major challenges in sensing, imaging, therapy, and sustainability.
