Pere Alemany i Cahner is presently full professor in Physical Chemistry at the University of Barcelona where he is the leader of the Electronic Structure and Symmetry Group. His actual research interests are mainly centered in the use of DFT-based methods to study the electronic structure of inorganic solids and its relation to electrical transport and magnetic properties as well as in the development and application of continuous symmetry measures to problems in structural chemistry. Since 1991 he has been teaching different courses (Quantum Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics, Theoretical Chemistry, …) in the area of Physical Chemistry for graduate and undergraduate students in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Biochemistry.
