Biography: Abderrazzak Douhal, a full Professor of physical chemistry at the University of Castilla La Mancha (UCLM, Toledo), has received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from University of Kadi Ayyad (Marrakech) under the supervision of Prof. J.L. Abboud and A.U. Acuña. From 1986 to 1990, he worked at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of CSIC (Madrid). During 1990-92, he was a post-doctoral student at the Institute for Molecular Science (Okazaki, Japan) working in the group of Prof. K. Yoshihara. In 1993, he worked as a researcher associate to Prof. Françoise Lahmani at Laboratoire de Photophysique Moléculaire (University of Paris-Sud/CNRS, France). In 1998, he joined the UCLM as an associate professor, and since 1999 he is a professor of physical chemistry at the same university. He was a visiting researcher at California Institute of Technology in several periods of 1995-2000, working in the group of Prof. Ahmed H. Zewail. Since 1998, he is heading the Femtoscience and Microscopy research group at the UCLM, focusing his research on the study of photoevents in condensed phase and advanced materials (silica-based materials, MOFs, COFs, HOFs, and perovskites). In 2018, he was awarded the Elsevier Lecture Award from the Japanese Photochemistry Association. ORCID: 0000-0003-2247-7566. Researcher ID: L-4940-2014.
