Gabriel Aullón López is Full Professor in Inorganic Chemistry at the Universitat de Barcelona. His current research interests are mainly centered in the use of computational methods, generally based in DFT, to study the electronic structure of transition metal complexes, including organometallic species and bioinorganic sites, and its relationship with stereochemistry, bonding, spectroscopic characterization and reactivity as well as the analysis of weak interactions in structural chemistry. He has taught different courses in the area of Inorganic Chemistry for graduate (Applied Molecular Modelling, Bioinorganic Nanosystems) and undergraduate students in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Pharmacy and Geology (General Chemistry, Computer Resources for Chemists, Inorganic Chemistry, Chemical Documentation, Basic Chemical Laboratory and Experimental Inorganic Chemistry).
