Professional Experience
Miguel A. París Torres holds a degree and a PhD in Physics (Materials Science area) from the Complutense University and the Autonomous University of Madrid, respectively.
He began his research career studying and characterising new ceramic materials (super-fast ionic conductors) with technological applications as solid electrolytes in lithium batteries, using a technique known as solid-state NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance). This work was carried out at the Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (ICMM), a centre belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), where he obtained his doctorate after four years of research.
He subsequently directed his professional career towards the development of new materials, products and manufacturing processes for magnetic components, based on a powder metallurgy manufacturing process, when he joined the R&D Department of the Spanish plant (Hispano Ferritas S.A.) of the Magnetic Products Business Unit of PHILIPS, with more than 300 employees and annual sales exceeding €30 million. There, he became R&D Director and Technical Co-Director for five years (2002–2007), serving as a member of the Company’s Management Committee in Spain and leading a technical team of around 15 people.
His current professional activities and responsibilities, as Head of the Project Management Office & Sustainable Building Area at the Technological Innovation Directorate of ACCIONA Construcción, mainly include: 1) management and financial control of the portfolio of funded R&D&I projects at ACCIONA’s R&D Centre, leading a team of 10 people and a portfolio of around 70 funded projects (primarily through the European H2020 programme); 2) coordination and supervision of the R&D&I activities of the research group (7 people) in the field of Sustainable Building.
As a result of his professional career, in addition to holding the PMP (Project Management Professional) certification and having successfully completed a Master’s in Production and Quality Management at IDE-CESEM and an Executive MBA in Sustainable Global Business at EOI, he has extensive professional experience in the areas of R&D, Engineering, Production and Process Improvement, particularly in the research, design, development and validation of new products/processes and the improvement of existing products/processes, always working closely with Production and Quality departments in international, multicultural organisations with broad product line ranges.
As a result of his research career, he has participated in more than 20 cooperative R&D projects at national and international level, is the author of 18 publications in international scientific journals, co-author of one patent, co-supervisor of a doctoral thesis and has delivered more than 10 presentations at international scientific conferences.
