On 18 november 2016, Juan Pablo Martínez defended with success his PhD Thesis titled “Reactivity of Fullerenes, Endohedral Metallofullerenes, and Nanotubes, and their Possible Application in Solar Energy Conversion” in the Sala de Graus of the Faculty of Science (UdG). The members of the evaluation Committee were Prof. Dr. Frank de Proft from Vrije Universiteit Brussels (President), Dr. Mercedes Alonso from Vrije Universiteit Brussels (Vocal), and Dr. Diego Andrada from Philipps-Universität Marburg (Secretary). The Thesis, which received the international mention, was supervised by Dr. Albert Poater, Dr. Sílvia Osuna, Prof. Matthias Bickelhaupt and Prof. Miquel Solà. Since it is a joint doctoral Thesis of the Universitat de Girona and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Juan Pablo will receive the double degree. To obtain the Doctor title from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, he will have to defend his PhD again in Amsterdam next January. Congratulations to Dr. Martínez!!
