Curriculum Vitae

CLÁUDIO MANAIA NUNES

C. M. Nunes graduated in Chemistry from the University of Coimbra in 2004 (best student), obtained his MSc degree in Organic Chemistry in 2007 and his PhD degree in Molecular Spectroscopy in 2012. Worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory for Molecular Cryospectroscopy and Biospectroscopy from 2013 to 2018. Besides a short postdoctoral position at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Fribourg (Switzerland), he also spent several months working as a visiting researcher at the Organometallic Chemistry Institute of the University of Oviedo (Spain), the Department of Chemistry of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA), and the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Justus-Liebig University Giessen (Germany). Started his independent research career in 2019 at the Coimbra Chemistry Centre as an Auxiliary Researcher funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (ranked 3rt in 109 candidates). In late 2023, he was appointed Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Coimbra. C. M. Nunes has published 57 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, over 50 conference proceedings, and contributed to 3 books. Highlight for 23 publications as a corresponding author and several papers in highly prestigious journals such as J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem., and Chem. Soc. Rev. He has been invited to deliver keynote lectures at several scientific conferences and to serve as a referee in reputable journals (e.g., Nat. Commun, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem.). Has also served as a guest editor for two scientific journals and was Associate Editor of the J. Mol. Struct. (IF = 4.0, Elsevier). He has lectured on several courses at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Coimbra. Supervised several MSc and BSc students, IAESTE international internships, and MSc-holder and Postdoc research projects. Currently, he is (co)supervising 2 Postdoc, 1 PhD and 1 MSc students. He served as subdirector of the Coimbra Chemistry Centre (2019-2023) and has been assuming management activities within the Coimbra Laser Lab research platform since 2019. C. M. Nunes is also currently the coordinator of the Laboratory for Molecular Cryospectroscopy group. He was awarded two grant projects as PI (TunDrivChem [2025-2026] ~50 k EUR and aCTIVE [2018-2022] ~240 k EUR) and other co-PI (QUANTUN [2021-2025] ~250 k EUR), and two advanced computing project as PI (TUNCHEM2 [2024-2025] ~1.1 M CPU core.hours and TUNCHEM [2023] ~100 k CPU core.hours). His pioneering research program is focused on quantum tunneling chemistry, IR vibrational excitation chemistry, multidimensional tunneling computations, organic mechanisms and reactive intermediates, development of new organic reactions and organocatalysts.
