Postdoc Researcher
e-mail:
Cecilia Granados-Miralles (Spain, 1988) obtained her PhD in Nanoscience (2017) from the Center for Materials Crystallography at Aarhus University, Denmark. Currently, she is a Ramón y Cajal postdoctoral fellow at Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio (CSIC). During her career, she has dedicated great efforts to improving the magnetic properties of rare-earth-free permanent magnets, participating in 2 EU projects with that aim (NANOPYME, AMPHIBIAN), contributing as a Work Package Leader to the second. Lately, she has also been exploring the potential of ferrites for spintronic applications, being Principal investigator of the international IEEE Special project (HESIOD) and also contributing to theMICINN project (MAT4LOWDISS), both recently concluded. She is also involved in recycling rare-earth magnets through the EIT Raw Materials project INSPIRES.
Cecilia is highly trained in the field of powder diffraction using both X-rays and neutrons as radiation (PXRD, NPD). She has a wide experience using diffraction to conduct in situ investigations and has performed numerous experiments at large-scale research facilities (ESRF, Petra-III@DESY, ALBA, MAX-lab, SINQ@PSI). She is also familiar with surface characterization techniques such as Low-Energy Electron Microscopy (LEEM), Photo-Emission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) and X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD), having participated in numerous in situ synchrotron experiments based on these techniques. She has published 34 peer-reviewed scientific articles (85% Q1, 44%% OA), which have gathered 499 citations to date, yielding an h-index of 14. She´s also a co-author of a worldwide patent. She has co-authored 61 contributions to conferences (48 international), including 28 oral communications (4 invited).
