Dr. Julia Contreras García is a chemist with a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Oviedo, Spain. She was a Fulbright-RLK postdoctoral fellow at Duke University under W. Yang and D. Beratan, where she initially worked on chemical space analysis and later on chemical bonding, co-developing the Non-Covalent Interactions (NCI) index, resulting in a J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper with over 6,000 citations. She also developed the NCIPLOT program, one of the top 10 most-read JCTC articles of its year, with over 8,000 downloads. She has actively promoted women in science, particularly through IUCr conferences.
Supported by funding from the Spanish Ministry, she joined the Laboratoire de Chimie Théorique (LCT) in France, obtained her HDR in 2015, and since 2018 has led the Chemical Interpretation group. She served as Secretary (2018–2022) and is currently President of the European High Pressure Research Group. She is affiliated with LCT at Sorbonne Université and CNRS.
Her research focuses on developing and applying topological tools to analyze chemical bonding in real space, studying interatomic distances in solids under high pressure to predict new chemistries, and understanding density–energy–property relationships. She recently introduced the first index to describe superconductivity using rapid computational methods.
