Francisco Martin-Martinez is Senior Lecturer at the Department of Chemistry of King’s College London, and Honorary Senior Lecturer at Swansea University. He is also research affiliate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 2022, he was selected as Google Research Innovator, because of his work on computational chemistry, and he works with Google Cloud on chemical reactivity predictions using cloud supercomputing.
Before joining Swansea University, he was Research Scientist at the Laboratory for atomistic and molecular mechanics (LAMM) of MIT (2014-2020), and postdoctoral researcher (2011-2013) at the Quantum Chemistry Group of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
He studied at the University of Granada (Spain), both Chemical Engineering and a PhD in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, which he did at the Modelling and Molecular Design Group. During his last year of PhD, he was visiting researcher at the Hamburg University.
At King’s, Fran leads the MMLab, a multidisciplinary research group focused on nature-learned matter. The lab leverages computational chemistry, machine learning, and biomimicry to engineer sustainable materials inspired by natural systems, with a particular emphasis on understanding materials degradation pathways to enhance performance and durability. Research efforts focus on utilizing biomass – including lignin, cellulose, and chitin – and biobased feedstocks, such as biocrude oils and biochar, to construct materials with tailored properties for applications in self-healing infrastructure, precision agriculture, and energy storage.
Additionally, Francisco Martin-Martinez is co-instructor at Station1 (USA). He is also scientific advisor at 2050Materials, and consultant at PODIUM Strategy and Marketing. Moreover, he is member of scientific policy group of the association Spanish Researchers in the UK (SRUK), and during his time in USA, he acted as President (2018-2019) and Vice-president (2016-2018) of the association Spanish Scientists in USA (ECUSA). He has been also program leader in the course “Circular Economy and Sustainability Strategies” by the Cambridge Judge Business School.
As a result of his professional activity, he is member of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (RSEQ). He also sits in the revision panel for the European Commission Fellowships program, ADMIRE, the Spanish Ramon y Cajal grants, and the Fondecyt program from Chile.
