Pablo Ordejónis Director of the Foundation"Institut Català de Nanociènciai Nanotecnologia" - ICN2 since 2012.With a publication record of nearly 200 scientific publications, more than 20.000 citations and an h-index of 52, Prof. Ordejón has made breakthrough contributions to the development of efficient methods for the study of materials properties at the atomic scale from first principles. He is a founding member of the team that developes the SIESTA method and code, which is used by thousands of groups to perform computer simulations of materials. He has worked on the theoretical understanding of the physics and chemistry of graphene since 2002, focusing on the electronic and vibrational properties of graphene and other 2D materials, with special emphasis onelectronic transport and on electronically-drivenstructural instabilities. In 2003, he received the Price of the Spanish Association of Scientists for his contributions in the area of Materials Sciences, and 2005 he was appointedFellow of the American Physical Society. He has served as Responsible for the Area of Condensed Matter Physics of the Spanish National Agency for Scientific Evaluation (ANEP) from 2004 to 2007, and as Chairman of the Physics and Engineering panel of the Spanish National Super computing Network from 2004 to 2010, besides other numerous advisory committees. He has also served as Co-Editor of EPL since 2010 to 2015, and is a member of the Editorial Board of Physica Status Solidi since 2004. He is co-founder of the spin-off company SIMUNE that provides materials simulations services to the industry. Since 2015, he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST).
