Miguel Algueró

Dr. Miguel Algueró is a Senior Researcher at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM), part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). He holds a BSc in Physics from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (1992), an MSc in Physics of Materials (1995), and a PhD in Physics of Materials (1998). His career includes roles as a Ramón y Cajal Researcher (2001–2006) and Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow (1998–2000). He has led multiple research projects, including MAT2017-88788-R on magnetoelectric materials. His work focuses on multiferroic and ferroelectric materials, particularly their synthesis, processing, and applications in advanced technologies like ceramics, thin films, and composites. He has published 103 JCR-indexed articles, co-edited a book on nanoscale ferroelectrics, and contributed to the European COST Programme in ferroics research. Recognitions include a visiting researcher role in Brazil (2014–2017) and editorial board membership at Journal of Advanced Dielectrics.

Research interests span multiferroic ceramics, magnetoelectric composites, and advanced processing techniques like spark plasma sintering. His projects emphasize sustainable, high-performance materials for energy, MEMS, and sensor applications. Key contributions include optimizing BiFeO₃-PbTiO₃ thin films and developing lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with enhanced strain responses.
