Fernando Agulló-Rueda

Fernando Agulló-Rueda is a Senior Research Scientist in the Nanocarma research group at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM), part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), where he has worked since 1988. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) in 1986, with a focus on halide perovskites. Following his doctorate, he spent four years conducting research abroad: eight months at the University of Hamburg establishing a Raman spectroscopy laboratory, over two years at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York, and one year at the Max-Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany. At IBM and Max Planck, he investigated the electro-optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures.

Agulló-Rueda has dedicated his career to studying the optical properties of materials, authoring more than 138 peer-reviewed publications with over 4,000 citations [h-index = 33 (WOS), h-index = 39 (Google Scholar)]. He has also authored several books, including Electrooptics, Nanotechnology for Microelectronics and Optoelectronics, and Fundamentos de microelectrónica, nanoelectrónica y fotóníca.

In 1995 he established the Raman Microscopy Lab at ICMM to investigate the nano- and microstructure of materials and devices. He has collaborated extensively with other research groups in diverse fields such as optical waveguides, semiconductor nanostructures, thin films and coatings, biological materials, and the effects of ion and laser irradiation.

Beyond his research, Agulló-Rueda is committed to science communication and education, contributing to outreach through courses, books, and book chapters. He has supervised three doctoral theses at UAM and is an active member of various scientific societies. He has served for over two years on the Executive Council of the Spanish Vacuum Society (ASEVA) , where he held the role of Treasurer.
