Recio Poo, Miguel

Postdoctoral Researcher
Miguel Recio Poo obtained his PhD degree (2025) in Chemistry from the University of Barcelona under the supervision of Prof. Stefan T. Bromley and Dr. Ángel Morales-García, with the thesis tutored by Prof. Francesc Illas i Riera. His doctoral research focused on the photoactivity of hydrated TiO₂ nanoparticles. Prior to this, he completed his BSc in Physics (2013–2018) and MSc in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling (TCCM, 2018–2020) at the University of Oviedo. In 2023, during his PhD, he carried out a research stay at the University at Buffalo with Prof. Alexey V. Akimov, where he gained expertise in excited-state methodologies and nonadiabatic dynamics. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Barcelona, applying these methodologies to the study of photoactive MXenes.
Finished thesis: 2025
