Dídac holds a PhD in Chemistry (2024) from the Autonomous University of Bacelona (UAB). His PhD research was focused on the computational characterization of photonic and electrocatalytic materials using first principles, quantum chemistry methods. He has worked with low-dimensional semiconductor material models, for which the effect of ligand passivation and shell growth on the electronic structure was assessed in detail. His research into electrochemistry involved the screening of hydrogen evolution reaction with monometallic, bimetallic and core-shell electrocatalysts. Dídac has also worked in computational homogeneous catalysis, particularly, pertaining to olefin metathesis with organometallic catalysts.

In 2025, Dídac joined the Atomistic and Molecular Modelling for Catalysis group, led by Ikerbasque Professor Dr. Max García-Melchor.
