Daniel Antonio Tordera Salvador (born 17 January 1986) is a Spanish chemist, materials scientist and writer. He is an associate professor in the Department of Physical Chemistry[1] at the University of Valencia and serves as vice-dean of its Faculty of Chemistry.

Early life and education

[edit]

Tordera was born in Valencia, Spain. He studied chemistry at the University of Valencia, where he graduated top of his class in 2009.[2] He later completed a materials science engineering degree at the École européene de chimie, polymères et matériaux in Strasbourg, France. He earned a PhD from the University of Valencia in 2014; his doctoral research focused on light-emitting electrochemical cells.[3]

Research

[edit]

Tordera joined University of Valencia in 2009 where his early research focused on light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). He determined the elusive operational mechanism of LECs and dramatically increased the performance of these devices.[4] He was a visiting scientist at University of California, Santa Barbara, where he conducted research on conjugated polyelectrolytes.[5] He subsequently co-founded a company aimed at commercializing related research outputs.[6] He joined Linköping University to research the optical and thermal properties of plasmonic nanoholes. He worked on the development of a plasmonic thermoelectric device,[7] a photoconductive paper[8] and a plasmonic display,[9] among others. He later joined Holst Centre (TNO) where he led a team working on near-infrared organic photodetectors.[10] His research at Holst Centre included the development of the first large-area thin-film vein detector[11] and studies applying organic photodetectors to biometrics and healthcare.[12][13] Since November 2020, he has led a research line at the University of Valencia focused on perovskite-based photodetectors and light-emitting devices, including work on perovskite transport layers for OLEDs,[14] semitransparent near-infrared perovskite photodetectors,[15] narrowband monolithic perovskite tandem devices,[16] and vacuum-deposited perovskite X-ray photodiodes.[17]

Tordera is the author of more than 70 peer-reviewed scientific publications and an inventor on five patents.[18][19]

Awards

[edit]

2023 - XVIII Ciutat d'Algemesí Scientific-Technical Award.[20]

2020 - Society of Information Display Distinguished Paper.[21]

2015 - Nanomatmol Award: Best PH.D. in Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials in Spain by the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry.[22]

2015 - Outstanding Doctorate Award by the Universidad de Valencia.[23]

2012 - European Materials Research Society Spring Meeting Young Scientist Award.[24]

2010 - Award "Suschem Young Chemistry Researchers" to the Highest Academic Achievement in Spain by the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry.[2]

Writing

[edit]

In 2018, Tordera's novel El arte de la fuga was selected among the ten finalist manuscripts for the 67th Premio Planeta.[25] The novel was later published by Valhalla Ediciones in 2022.[26] In 2021, he published the illustrated children's book El dueño del mundo (illustrated by Alba Alcaraz) with Babidi-Bú.[27] He has also contributed fiction to the anthology Lab3 – Fugitivos (Ediciones Contrabando).[28]
