Dr. José J. Baldoví (Xàtiva, 1986) is an Excellence Distinguished Researcher of the Gen-T Programme of the Generalitat Valenciana, director of the 2D Smart Materials Lab, principal investigator of an ERC Starting Grant at the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) of the University of Valencia and member of the teaching and research staff of the Physical Chemistry department. He is also the President of the Association of Scientists of Excellence of the Gen-T Programme (AccenT), full member of the Young Academy of Spain and a representative of Spain in the Management Committee of the COST Action SuperQumap.

His research activity focuses on the development of theoretical and computational frameworks for the chemical design of smart molecular/2D devices for information technologies. His interdisciplinary work integrates physics, chemistry and materials science to explore emerging applications in magnonics, spintronics, quantum computing, and sensing devices. He was a Marie Curie-Sklodowska Fellow (2017-19) for the European Commission at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg (Germany). In 2009 graduated in Chemistry, completing a Master (2012) and a PhD in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (2016) in the University of Valencia, all of them with extraordinary award. His PhD thesis, based on the rational design of molecular nanomagnets with applications in nanoscience, molecular spintronics and quantum technologies, was achieved the highest score between all the PhD thesis in Chemistry of the University of València.

He is currently supervising a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow, 2 postdoctoral researchers, 5 PhD theses and 2 undergraduate students. He has published more than 60 papers in international indexed journals, a book chapter and 3 popular science articles, giving 29 invited talks at international conferences and 6 invited seminars. He chaired the 1^st European School in Superconductivity and Magnetism in Quantum Materials and organized several workshops and symposia at international conferences. Furthermore, he holds a Master in Science Communication that allows him to transfer the value of science to society through different public science articles and events.
