Omschrijving
Montserrat Diéguez studied chemistry at the Rovira i Virgili University (URV)
in Tarragona (Spain), where she earned her Ph.D. in 1997, working in the group
of Prof. C. Claver. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship where she worked
with Prof. R.H. Crabtree at Yale University, in New Haven (USA), she returned to
Tarragona in 1999 and accepted a lectureship position at the URV, becoming part of
the permanent staff in 2002. In 2011 she was promoted to full Professor in Inorganic
Chemistry at the URV.
She has been involved in more than 60 research projects in the fields of organometallic
chemistry, steroselective synthesis, and asymmetric catalysis. She is the
author/co-author of more than 150 articles in SCI-indexed journals and book chapters,
and of several contributions to conferences. She received distinction from the
Generalitat de Catalunya for the promotion of University Research in 2004 and from
the URV in 2008. She has also been awarded the ICREA Academia Prize from
the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies 2009–14 and 2015–20,
for research excellence, facilitating research priority dedication. Her main research
interests are focused on the sustainable design, synthesis, and screening of highly
active and selective chiral catalysts for reactions of interest to the biological, pharmaceutical,
and organic nanotechnological industries. Her areas of interest include
organometallic chemistry, stereoselective synthesis, and asymmetric catalysis, using
combinatorial and biotechnological approaches.
