Short Biography

Carlos Bornes is interested in understanding, at the atomistic level, how molecules behave and interact under confinement, from catalysed reactions and confined water to host-guest interactions, and in the acid-base chemistry that governs many of these processes. His research combines machine-learning-accelerated atomistic simulations and experimental characterization, mainly using solid-state NMR, to connect local structure and dynamics with material properties and activity.

He completed his PhD in Chemistry at the University of Aveiro in 2023, studying zeolite acid sites using probe molecules and solid-state NMR, before moving to Charles University in Prague as an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellow on the ZEOLANDO project. He is currently leading the CLEANSE project, using machine learning tools to guide the development of new and improved porous sorbents for the selective capture of potassium.
