Amorín González, Harvey

Harvey Amorín received his PhD degree in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Aveiro (Portugal) in 2005. He joined the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC) in 2006 and became Tenured Scientist in 2017. His field of expertise covers ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, multiferroics and magnetoelectrics; in ceramics, thin films and hybrid polymer-based composites; all considered prototypes of multifunctionality. Research interest includes processing by advanced synthesis and sintering methods of bulk materials with emphasis in nanostructuring and size effects.

Co-author of more than 100 articles in SCI journals (h-index = 20), 2 book chapters, 4 European patents, more than 150 research works at international conferences, 7 Invited Talks, and 2 research works that received the National Prize of the Cuban Academy of Sciences. At present, he is Vice-president of the Ceramics for Energy and Electronics section of the Spanish Society of Ceramic and Glass (SECV) and Associate Editor of the Boletín de la Sociedad Española de Cerámica y Vidrio.
