Gracia-Pinilla, Miguel Ángel

Research leader in nanoscience and nanotechnology, with recognized expertise in micro- and nanofabrication interfaces for advanced functional materials. My research is centered on the rational design and scalable fabrication of nanoengineered inorganic/organic interfaces, targeting critical challenges in solar energy conversion, advanced and recycled battery systems, photoelectrochemical devices, and environmental remediation through advanced oxidation processes. I integrate materials engineering, additive manufacturing (DLP-based 3D printing and electrospinning), thin-film deposition, and nanomaterials synthesis to create tailored nanoarchitectures with enhanced charge transport, catalytic performance, and long-term durability. A defining strength of my work is the systematic correlation of structure property function relationships, enabling the translation of fundamental nanoscience into technology-ready solutions. My research profile is strengthened by international academic leadership, including a Visiting Professorship at Florida International University (2014 2015) and a Guest Research appointment at the University of Twente (2022 2023), where I advanced additive manufacturing enabled nanomaterials for energy and environmental technologies. My long-term vision is to deliver sustainable, scalable nanotechnological solutions aligned with the excellence-driven and interdisciplinary priorities and the circular economy.
