Joan J. Carvajal obtained his Bachelor in Chemistry (1997), Master in Experimental Chemistry (2001) and PhD in Chemistry (2003, FI fellowship) at the University Rovira i Virgili (URV), Tarragona, Spain, developing self-frequency doubling lasers. After occupying a post-doctoral Fulbright fellow position during 2 years at Stony Brook University, working on crystal growth of nanostructures of wide bandgap semiconductor through Chemical Vapor Deposition, in 2006 he was awarded with a Ramon y Cajal position in Materials Science, back at the URV, where he is Associate Professor since 2011.

He is co-author of more than 225 papers in international scientific journals.

He is co-author of a book chapter in the Springer Handbook on Crystal Growth, Springer-Verlag, 2010 in the 21st Century Nanoscience Handbook, CRC Press, 2020 and in "Short-wavelength infrared windows for biomedical applications", SPIE, 2022.

He has supervised 8 PhD Thesis in the fields of integrated photonics, structuration of non-linear optical materials to develop diffraction gratings, the concept of down-shifting in polymeric solar cells to increase their efficiency, production of porous GaN through CVD and luminescence nano thermometry. At present, he is supervising 2 additional PhD Theses on developing luminescent carbonaceous materials that can act simultaneously as catalysts and luminescent sensors of temperature, pH and pressure, and measuring the impact of the training programs for doctoral supervisors.

He is the Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry of the URV since 2022. Since 2019 he is Visiting Professor at the Harbin Engineering University (Harbin, China). He is also founding member of the Group of Trainers for the Professionalization of the Doctoral Supervision at the URV.

Maria Cinta Pujol born in 1973, is a member of the Department of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry at the URV M. C. Pujol's research career started in 1997, with her collaboration in the research performed in the group of physical chemistry, just after she became a member of the group Physics and Crystallography of Materials.

M.C. Pujol graduated from URV with a degree in Chemistry in 1996 and later achieved a PhD from the same University in 2001. From that time, she has been always working in the field of material physics, and more specially related with optical materials. During her post-doctoral stage at the Institute from Transuranium Elements (ITU, Karlsruhe, Germany), during 2002 and 2003, she was engaged in the preparation and synthesis of new ceramic UO2 compounds. In 2004, she leaded her own project related to the synthesis of nanocrystals and their characterization in the framework of RyC program supported by the Education and Science Ministry of Spain. Later on, she became associate professor in 2010, till 2022; when she recently obtained the position of Professor in the same Department of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry at the URV.

She has supervised 10 PhD thesis, around 20 master thesis, and also graduated research works. Her research has been published in more than 150 papers. Her profile of research conforms to a strong basis in material physics and crystallophysics; synthesis of nanocrystals and their optical characterization. Currently, her research interests are related to the use of the light emitting nanoparticles to be used as nanosensors.

Joan J. Carvajal於西班牙塔拉戈納的羅維拉·伊·維吉利大學（URV）獲得化學學士學位（1997年），實驗化學碩士學位（2001年）和化學博士學位（2003年，FI獎學金），他在URV開發了自頻倍增激光器。在擔任斯托尼布魯克大學的富布萊特博士後職位期間，他在化學氣相沉積法中研究寬禁帶半導體的納米結構晶體生長。2006年，他在URV獲得了材料科學的Ramon y Cajal職位，並自2011年起擔任副教授。

他是國際科學期刊上225篇論文的合著者。

他是Springer-Verlag出版的《晶體生長手冊》（2010年）、CRC Press出版的《21世紀納米科學手冊》（2020年）和SPIE出版的《生物醫學應用的短波紅外窗口》（2022年）中的一章的合著者。

他在集成光子學、非線性光學材料結構化、聚合物太陽能電池中的下轉換概念以提高效率、通過化學氣相沉積法生產多孔GaN和發光納米熱計量等領域指導了8個博士論文。目前，他正在指導另外2個博士論文，研究發展能同時作為催化劑和溫度、pH和壓力發光傳感器的發光碳材料，以及衡量博士生導師培訓計劃的影響。

他自2022年起擔任URV化學學院院長。自2019年起，他還擔任哈爾濱工程大學（中國哈爾濱）的客座教授。他還是URV博士生導師專業化培訓小組的創始成員。

Maria Cinta Pujol於1973年出生，是URV物理和無機化學系的成員。M.C. Pujol的研究生涯始於1997年，當時她參與了物理化學研究小組的研究，隨後成為材料物理學小組的成員。

M.C. Pujol於1996年從URV獲得化學學位，並於2001年在同一所大學獲得博士學位。從那時起，她一直在材料物理領域工作，尤其是與光學材料相關的領域。在德國卡爾斯魯厄的超鈾元素研究所（ITU）進行的博士後研究期間（2002年至2003年），她從事新陶瓷UO2化合物的制備和合成。2004年，她在西班牙教育和科學部支持的RyC計劃框架下，開展了與納米晶體的合成和表徵相關的項目。隨後，她於2010年成為副教授，直到2022年最近獲得URV物理和無機化學系教授職位。

她指導了10個博士論文、約20個碩士論文和畢業研究工作。她的研究成果已發表在150多篇論文中。她的研究興趣主要集中在利用發光納米顆粒作為納米傳感器的應用。
