Miguel Julve Olcina

Miguel Julve Olcina was born in Moncada (Valencia) in 1953. He obtained his PhD degree (with Professors Juan Faus Payá and José M. Moratal Mascarell) at the University of Valencia in 1981. Following two years of postdoctoral fellow (with Prof. O. Kahn) at the Université of Paris Sud (France), he came back to the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Valencia where he is full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry since 1992. His research activity concerns the rational design of extended magnetic systems by using the complex as ligand strategy and he is co-author of more than 420 articles in peer review scientific journals. His work has been highlighted by several covers in prestigious scientific journals and he was distinguished with the 2002 Inorganic Chemistry Award of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry and the 2008 Catalán-Sabatier Prize by the French Chemical Society.
