SHORT BIO
Angel A. Martí is currently an Assistant Professor of Chemistry, and Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at Rice University in Houston. He obtained his BS degree in Chemistry in 1999 from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras and from 1996 to 1999 he was awarded the Alliance for Minority Participation Excellence award and NIH/SUBE research fellowship. In 2004 he obtained his PhD degree from the same university under the supervision of Dr. Jorge Colón, where he held the NSF Graduate Teaching Fellowship in K-12 Education and NIH-RISE fellowship. During his Ph.D. Dr. Angel Martí studied the photophysical properties of metal complexes immobilized in layered zirconium phosphate materials. In 2004 he joined Prof. Nicholas Turro’s (the world’s most renowned photochemist) Research Group at Columbia University as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist, where he worked in the development of fluorescent probes for the detection of trace amounts of DNA and mRNA in vivo and in vitro, ortho-para hydrogen conversion, singlet oxygen deactivation and in supramolecular and nanoscale systems. In July 2008, Dr. Angel Martí joined the Department of Chemistry at Rice University in Houston, with secondary appointments in the Department of Bioengineering and Materials Science and Nano Engineering. Currently he has published over 50 manuscripts, some of the most recent on sensing biomolecules in complex environments, supramolecular photochemistry and carbon nanotechnology. He was also conferred the 2013 Inter-American Photochemical Society Young Investigator Award and the 2014 American Society for Photobiology New Investigator Award.
