NanoChronia is developing miniaturized modified metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) and/or functionalized graphene (f-G) gas sensors that are highly specific for measuring certain gases such as hydrogen, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and methane.
These sensors detect the concentration of various types of gases by measuring the physical changes in the modified mononanolayers of MOS or functionalized graphene when reacting to the presence of target gases.
NanoChronia has a patented sensor control process that enables the modulation of the physical properties of the layer to extract the information from the sensor thereby minimizing the drift and enhancing the speed and the sensitivity of the readings.
By continuously measuring the changes to the physical properties of the metal oxide and the functionalized graphene layers, we can accurately monitor the concentration of the specific gases in real-time.
The world is moving right now whether it wants to or not.
NanoChronia does not pretend to be the lever that moves the world. We do not produce energy nor have some special technology that solves the clean energy problem. Rather, we aim to be the fulcrum, the pivot point upon which this clean transition can take place safely.

A senior business executive, with a BSc in computer Eng, bachelor’s degree and MBA studies in management and Economics from Derby University. He has been successful in devising strategic growth plans and programs and providing execution leadership to the business within the medical devices and alternative energy industries. Possessing strong global quality assurance and regulatory affairs experience, he worked as a QA and RA manager and Vice President for many international companies. Furthermore, he was Head of Global Quality at Insightec. He also holds different certifications such as Auditor and Lead Auditor per ISO 19011. Highly experienced entrepreneur, he is the co-founder and was Chairman of the Board from 2013 to 2018 of TerraGenic Ltd, a hydrogen-fuel company. He founded the company and raised capital through pre-seed, seed, Round A, and B, when it was sold to an Australian company (Electriq Global Ltd). He is also the Co-founder and CEO of Polynerve Limited, a deeptech medical company, that aims for peripheral nerve injury repair procedure and regeneration with first-in-man clinical trials finished successfully
A lawyer by training and an entrepreneur by vocation. Paul has worked in both multinational and startup technology companies internationally. Paul is a COO and CFO with over 15 years’ experience founding and scaling up start-ups by creating administrative structures, putting reporting processes into place and organizing finances. In 2016 he founded Brosuna Consulting, an external CFO service for scaleups with a focus on establishing streamlined processes, defining metrics for financial reporting and forecasts, and implementing cost controls and cash management for efficient company growth. He is also a partner of Rondabout, a consulting firm that supports the growing network of startup companies. He has a B.A. in Biopsychology from the University of Waterloo (Canada), holds dual civil and common law degrees from McGill University (Canada); and an MBA from IESE in Barcelona. He has a strong background in finance, as he has worked as a finance director and CFO in several companies, demonstrating his capacity to negotiate with investors and lenders, debt refinancing and the digital transformation of finance departments
Received his bachelor’s in chemistry and his master’s in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology from University Rovira i Virgili and Northeastern University, Boston. He obtained his PhD. on technologies for Nanosystems in 2021 at University Rovira i Virgili. He worked under several projects to synthetize new nanomaterials and stayed for 3 months in Kyushu University, Japan. In 2020 under the LLAVOR project he obtained a Postgraduate title by UPF-BMS to bring the technology from the laboratory to the market starting its innovation and entrepreneurship career.
An IEEE Senior Member, PhD from the UPC-Barcelona Tech (1997), focused on the dynamic response of semiconductor gas sensors to improve their selectivity. He is a full Professor of Electronics since 2009 at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain), where he was Distinguished Professor in 2019. Group Leader of MINOS research group, with interests in nanomaterials and their integration in microsystems for detecting pollutant/hazardous gases at trace levels. From 2010 to 2014, he has been the Director of the Centre for Research in Materials Engineering and Micro/Nano Systems (EMAS). He is the President of the Spanish Network of Microsystems and Nanotechnology (IBERNAM). Recipient of the ICREA Academia award (in 2012 and 2018). He has obtained 1 international patent transferred, 2 national patents (2014 and 2020),1 PCT (2015). As an entrepreneur, he was among the founders of the spin-off company Green Smart Data.
Full professor at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), BarcelonaTech, Spain. Director of the MarsLab at UPC. He has participated in the development of the Martian wind sensors in the REMS, TWINS and MEDA instruments for three NASA missions: MSL, InSight and Mars2020. He has been working for more than 25 years in different types of sensors (anemometers, chemical gas sensors, heat flux sensors, magnetometers, among others) and in the design of non-linear controls for the optimization of sensor dynamics, contributing to more than 100 publications.
