Dr. José Miguel García-Martín is a research scientist in the Spanish National Research Council, CSIC, and he works at the Institute of Micro and Nanotechnology (Madrid). He is also a co-founder of Nanostine, a spin-off company that fabricates nanoparticles and nanostructured coatings by sputtering. He obtained his PhD in Physics at Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 1999. He then spent about three years at the Solid-State Physics Lab at Paris-Saclay University (France) on an individual Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship. He joined CSIC in 2003. He has been Fulbright Visiting Scholar twice: in 2017 at Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts) and in 2025 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST (Boulder, Colorado). Currently, he studies metal and metal-oxide nanostructures with applications in information and communications technology, energy, and biomedicine.
