Natalia Muñoz Rujas

Natalia Muñoz Rujas serves as a Professor at the University of Burgos, Spain, within the Department of Thermal Engines and Machines and the iENERGIA Energy Engineering Research Group. Her academic profile centers on developing sustainable engineering solutions for environmental challenges, particularly through advanced thermal systems research.

She earned her PhD from the University of Burgos in 2018 with the dissertation Research on properties of new industrial fluids with low environmental impact as substitutes for fluorinated gases for climate change reduction, supervised by Dr. Fernando Aguilar Romero. This foundational work established her expertise in environmentally conscious fluid engineering.

Her research spans Energy Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Refrigeration Systems, and Climate Change Mitigation, with emphasis on replacing high-impact fluorinated gases. As a core member of iENERGIA, she contributes to Spain's energy transition initiatives through experimental analysis of industrial fluid properties and thermodynamic efficiency optimization.

While specific awards remain unlisted in available materials, her ongoing affiliation with the University of Burgos's PhD program in Industrial, Computer and Civil Engineering Technologies demonstrates active scholarly contribution to next-generation engineering education and sustainable technology development.
