Angel Muñoz Castellanos

Angel Muñoz Castellanos is a Full Professor in the Department of Physics at Carlos III University of Madrid, affiliated with the Álvaro Alonso Barba Institute of Chemistry and Materials Technology. His research focuses on nanostructured and multifunctional materials, particularly oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloys, perovskites, and tungsten composites for nuclear fusion applications.

• Research Interests: Materials Science, Condensed Matter Physics, Magnetism, Nuclear Engineering, Crystallography, and Powder Metallurgy.
• Projects: Principal researcher on ODS alloys for fusion reactors; awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and CIEMAT.
• Publications: Over 40 peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals like Physical Review Letters and Acta Materialia, emphasizing magnetic structures, high-heat flux materials, and neutron diffraction studies.
• Supervised Theses: Mentored work on Cu-Y alloys for heat flux applications and Mg-HAP biocompatible composites.

His expertise spans alloy processing, neutron diffraction, positron annihilation spectroscopy, and mechanical characterization under extreme conditions. He is involved in EU fusion technology initiatives like IFMIF-DONES.
