Hello! My name is Juan José Villaverde. I love Research!

Currently, I am working at the National Institute for Agricultural and Food Research and Technology - INIA (Spain). However, I have also worked within the Spanish research system at the Univ. Santiago Compostela, Univ. La Coruña and Autonomous Univ. Madrid. I have also long research experience at institutions of other countries, i.e. KTH Royal Inst. Technology (Sweden), Univ. Aveiro (Portugal), Istituto di Struttura della Materia (Italy) and Univ. Paul Sabatier (France).

My main research interests are focused on the new tools, i.e., computational, modeling, statistical and analytical tools, for both risk assessment/characterization of plant protection products (especially of their transformation products) as contaminants of environmental compartments and characterization of novel valuable compounds from/for/in the agriculture. In this sense, I have added significantly to the fields of plant protection products and crops through statistical and chemical modeling, computational quantum chemistry, quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), informatics, analytical methods and environmental technologies.

This blog is my personal way to present the results of the research that I have developed during these years to anyone who want to know it. People interested in collaborations, networks or new researches are welcome to contact me.
