Ceramics and Composite Materials

Biography

Maximina Romero (Ph.D, Scientific Researcher at the Spanish National Research Council - CSIC) joined the Group of Vitreous and Ceramic Materials in Construction in 1991. From October 1996 until 1998 she was Marie Curie fellowship at the Department of Materials, Imperial College, London, UK, acquiring a wide knowledge on glass nucleation phenomena and its study by means of differential thermal analysis (DTA). Dr. Romero has co-authored more than 150 scientific publications in the field of glass, ceramics and glass-ceramic materials. She is also scientific co-editor of 3 materials science books. Her papers published in SCI journals have been referenced about 1500 times, which leads an h-index of 24. Dr Romero's current research interests include compositional design, processing and characterization of frits for ceramic glazes; development of new building materials by sintering and crystallization of glasses; foam glasses and porous ceramic materials; valorization of industrial and mining wastes by vitrification and sintering processes and processing and technological characterization of ceramic tile.
