Miguel Muñoz Rojo received his PhD (2015) in Condensed Matter Physics & Nanotechnology from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and M.S./B.S. in Physics from the Autonomous University of Madrid. He obtained a JAE pre-doctoral Fellowship from CSIC to study during his PhD how the reduction of dimensionality affects the transport properties of organic and inorganic thermoelectric materials. During this period of time, he carried out scientific stays at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (New York, USA), the University of Bordeaux (France) and the University of California Berkeley (USA). In 2012, he participated in the 62nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Physics after qualifying in an international competition among young talent scientists. From 2016 to 2018, he became a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, studying two dimensional (2D) materials and devices based on them for thermal, electrical, and thermoelectric applications. From 2018 to 2021, he was a Tenure Track Assistant Professor at the University of Twente. He has been successful in obtaining funding for his research in USA and Europe, including the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant 2023, in the field of thermal conversion and management processes with national and international academic and industrial partners. He is now a permanent researcher at the National Research Council of Spain (CSIC) working at the Institute of Materials Science in Madrid (ICMM) with double affiliation as associate professor to the University of Twente. He is currently a Fellow of the Young Academy of Europe (FYAE). His research focuses on multiscale thermal engineering, thermal management, energy harvesting, nano- and micro-scale thermometry and thermal sensing.
