Carlos J. Bueno-Alejo graduated in Chemistry in 2003 at the University of Cadiz. After that he went to Yale University as an exchange research student until 2005, where he worked in the group of Professor Juan Fernandez De la Mora. He then moved to Valencia (Spain) where he received a PhD in Organic Pharmaceutical Chemistry in 2009 at the Polytechnic University of Valencia under the supervision of professors M.A. Miranda and

M.C. Jimenez. Subsequently, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at several locations like the group of Professor Juan C. Scaiano at the University of Ottawa and the group of Professor Silvia Costa at the Centro de Química Estructural in Instituto Técnico de Lisboa. In 2014 he began working with the group of Professor Jesus Santamaria at the University of Zaragoza.
