José Alemán received his B.Sc. in Chemistry from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) (1995-2000). Then, he joined the group of Prof. Jose L. García Ruano at the same university, and obtained his M.Sc. in 2002, granted with a Spanish “Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia” fellowship. In 2003, he spent six months in the laboratory of Prof. Albert Padwa at Emory University (Atlanta, USA) working on remotely enantiocontrolled Pummerer reactions. In 2005, he finished his PhD. thesis focused on the application of sulfur chemistry in asymmetric synthesis with the highest qualification (“Summa Cum Laude”). Furthermore, he was awarded the Lilly Research Award in 2005 as one of the best chemistry PhD. student of Spain and for carrying out the best PhD. thesis at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 2005/2006. Then, for the excellent results obtained during his PhD, he obtained a two-year postdoctoral grant from the Spanish Ministry of Science for carrying out his post-doctoral stay in Denmark (2006-2008) in the group of Prof. Karl A. Jørgensen, working in the area of organocatalysis. In 2009, he moved to the Organic Chemistry Department of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid with a “Juan de la Cierva” contract (selected number one in chemistry for 2009). In 2010, he became Ramón y Cajal researcher (selected number one in chemistry). During this period, the applicant worked on new research lines concerning organocatalysis, mainly related to the development of new reactions. In 2015, he received a Consolidator Grant awarded by the European Research Council, a PoC-ERC-2019 and has obtained more than 15 projects in competitive calls.
