Researcher Carla Casadevall has been selected to join the Early Career Advisory Board (ECAB) of the prestigious international scientific journal JACS Au for the 2025–2026 term. JACS Au is a publication of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the largest professional chemical society in the world and one of the most internationally recognized scientific institutions. The ACS publishes over 75 high-impact journals across all areas of chemistry and provides a fundamental platform for global scientific communication.
JACS Au is one of ACS’s flagship open-access journals. This open-access format ensures that all published content is freely accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world. This commitment to open science directly contributes to the democratization of knowledge, equitable access to emerging research, and the global visibility of scientific work. JACS Au covers all branches of chemistry—from the most traditional (such as organic, inorganic, physical, or analytical chemistry) to more specialized fields (like computational chemistry, materials science, nanoscience, green chemistry, etc.) and other multidisciplinary research areas related to chemistry.
In this regard, the Early Career Advisory Board complements the Editorial Advisory Board (EAB), which is composed of senior members of the global chemistry community. Its mission is to offer an innovative and emerging perspective on new trends in chemical research and to advise the journal’s editorial team on strategic issues.
Carla Casadevall’s participation in this board represents a recognition of her scientific career and leadership, as well as a significant step in her international projection. Her contribution will help shape the future of the journal and connect it with the community of emerging scientists around the world, while also strengthening the visibility of excellent research conducted in Catalonia and Spain on the global scientific stage.
Her term began on July 1, 2025, and will run until June 30, 2026. During this period, she will participate in an annual meeting with JACS Au editors and will collaborate in identifying emerging research directions, as well as in strengthening the journal’s commitment to the values of quality, accessibility, and scientific impact.
Carla Casadevall’s research group—she is a Junior Leader at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) and a Ramón y Cajal Assistant Professor at Rovira i Virgili University (URV)—focuses on the development of hybrid materials and polymeric micro-photoreactors to compartmentalize chemical reactivity in the field of energy, sustainable catalysis, and industrial decarbonization. This is a multidisciplinary approach to research at the intersection of artificial photosynthesis, photocatalysis, artificial vesicles, nanomaterials, and mechanistic studies, with the goal of sustainably producing fuels and chemicals.
