Prof. Núria López, Group Leader at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ), has been included in the 2025 list of Highly Cited Researchers published by Clarivate. The list identifies the top 1 in 1,000 scientists and social scientists worldwide whose publications rank in the top 1% by citations in their field and year, based on data from the Web of Science Core Collection over the past eleven years.
This year, 7,131 researchers were recognised globally, including 237 in Chemistry. In Spain, only two researchers in this field received the distinction: Prof. López and Prof. Avelino Corma (Instituto de Tecnología Química, ITQ).
“This recognition highlights the dedication and teamwork behind our research,” said Prof. López. “It would not have been possible without the commitment of my group and our collaborators.”
She leads a research group at ICIQ focusing on theoretical studies of heterogeneous photo-electro-catalysis. Prof. López obtained her PhD in Theoretical Chemistry from the University of Barcelona and has received several distinctions, including an ERC Starting Grant (2010), an ERC Proof-of-Concept Grant (2015) and the John Jeyes Sustainability Prize by the Royal Chemical Society in 2022. She has also played leading roles in European supercomputing initiatives and pioneered open data practices through ioChem-BD, a computational catalysis database. Prof. López’s research record includes 336 publications, an H-index of 85, and more than 25,000 citations.
