CSIC publishes a 'ranking' of the 5000 most outstanding Spanish scientists

The Centre for Scientific Research (CSIC) has published its first classification with the 5,000 foreign Spanish scientists who carry out research in Spanish organizations, classified according to the indicators of their public personal profiles in the Google Scholar database, a search engine specialized in content and scientific bibliography. Sonia Martin-Lopez, researcher of the photonic engineering research group (GRIFO) represents the UAH on this list along with 40 researchers.

The CSIC is the most represented organization with 633 profiles, followed by the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), with 292; the University of Barcelona (UB), with 218; the University of Granada (UGR), with 208; and the Universitat de València (UV), with 138. In addition, there are 162 researchers who indicate affiliations abroad. There are about 500 institutions performed in total. Universidad de Alcalá is represented with 40 researchers. In addition, Sonia Martin-Lopez, researcher of the photonic engineering research group (GRIFO) is in position 1858.

Invited Conference in Stanford Geophysics

Miguel González Herráez

Professor of Electronics and Photonics at the University of Alcala - “Unconventional DAS”

Date: Wednesday, January 31, 2024

Time: 9:00-9:50am PST Location: Mitchell Building-Room B04. Zoom: http://tinyurl.com/yv8w9pye Password: 750899

Miguel Gonzalez-Herraez is currently a Professor of Electronics and Photonics at the University of Alcala (Spain). He is a frequent invited/plenary speaker in meetings organized by Optica (formerly Optical Society of America) or IEEE. A substantial amount of his IP is now in DAS and DTS machines commercialized by different manufacturers such as Omnisens (now part of Prysmian Electronics) and Aragon Photonics. He has received several important recognitions to his basic research activity and technology transfer contributions in this area, including the European Research Council Starting Grant, the “Miguel Catalan” Prize given by the Regional Government of Madrid, and the “Agustin de Betancourt” prize of the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering.

Distributed Fiber Sensors.
In the last five years, the activity in The Photonics Engineering Research Group GRIFO has been very intense in terms of scientific production. In particular, in the research line of distributed fiber optic sensors 2016 was a particularly important year as a new technique for distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) was demonstrated by the group. Since then, this technique has been at the core of many investigations of this group in the last five years, as it offers disruptive properties that have not only spurred the interest of the scientific community, but also from commercial companies which license the patents associated to the technique and have developed it into commercial products (particularly Omnisens, CH, and Aragon Photonics, ES).

Ferroelectric/piezoelectric materials with perovskite structure for energy harvesting systems.
Integration, characterization, modelling (FEM) and application to electronics of ferroelectric/piezoelectric materials with perovskite structure with different compositions. That line has evolved in the combination of these piezoelectric materials with magnetic materials to manufacture multiferroic materials (in a single phase and composites) for energy harvesting systems.

Fabrication of materials and photonics devices.
The group has been involved in the field of development and fabrication of materials and photonics devices based mainly on group III nitrides. Within these research lines, the group has a deep expertise in the deposition of metals and III-Nitrides by sputtering on several kind of surfaces, like standard optical fibre, flexible substrates, sapphire and Silicon.
