DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nAn increased utilization of feedstock materials in
  catalytic endeavours holds great promise to revolutionize approaches in o
 rganic synthesis for preparing added-value building blocks. In this regard
 \, catalytic protocols for incorporating carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic
  matter has recently attracted considerable attention in carboncarbon bond
 -forming reactions.Among the different alternatives\, the ability to desig
 n catalytic CO2 fixation en route to carboxylic acids would be particularl
 y appreciated\, as these motifs are important structural elements in a myr
 iad of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals\, among others. In recent years\,
  our research group has reported some progress directed towards the cataly
 tic reductive carboxylation of organic matter with CO2.These methods are c
 haracterized by their simplicity\, wide substrate scope\, including challe
 nging substrate combinations with particularly sensitive functional groups
  and a diverse set of substitution patterns.\n\nBio:\n\nRuben Martin was b
 orn in Barcelona in 1976. After receiving his PhD at the Universitat de Ba
 rcelona with Prof. Antoni Riera\, he moved in January 2004 to the Max-Plan
 ck-Institut für Kohlenforschung as a Humboldt postdoctoral fellow with Pro
 f. Alois Fürstner\, where he worked on iron-cross coupling reactions. In M
 ay 2005 he undertook further postdoctoral studies at the Massachusetts Ins
 titute of Technology with Prof. Stephen L. Buchwald where he developed new
  metal-catalyzed C-C and C-N bond-forming reactions. In September 2008 he 
 joined the ICIQ as a group leader\; his research interests concern the dis
 covery of novel organometallic catalytic methodologies for the activation 
 of strong sigma bonds. During his time at ICIQ he has received\, among oth
 ers\, the 2018 Hirata Award\, 2018 OMCOS Award\, 2018 Banc Sabadell Award 
 for Sciences and Engineering\, 2017 Marcial Moreno Award\, 2015 RSEQ Excel
 lence Research Award\, and three European Research Council (ERC) Grants.\n
