Dr Jordi Bures gained his undergraduate degree in Chemistry at University of Barcelona in 2003. He then pursued his studies for a MSc and PhD with a FPU fellowship in the group of Prof. Jaume Vilarrasa. In 2010, he was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship to join the group of Prof. Donna Blackmond at The Scripps Research Institute, in California. In 2013, he returned to Europe to join the Chemistry Department at Imperial College London as an IC Junior Research Fellow.
