Biography

 Dr. Albella is Senior scientist at the Surface Physics and Engineering Dept., (Institute of Materials Science, CSIC). He has been Professor at the Applied Physics Dept. (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) teaching several graduate and doctorate courses on semiconductors, electronic materials and thin films. Presently, he conducts a research group devoted to the study of ceramic coatings for surface treatments for tribological applications (mechanical parts, tools, etc.), using PVD and CVD techniques (sputtering, plasmas, ion beams, etc.). He has also been working on the development of thin film materials for microelectronics and optics, having published over one hundred papers in specialised journals and two books on these topics. Currently, he is involved in the deposition of materials, such as oxides, nitrides, carbides, diamond, etc. He has conducted different research projects with Spanish industries and research agencies as well within the EC research programs (Brite-Euram and ECSC) and has been invited to participate in the organising committee of several international conferences and has given lectures in different university departments and international congresses. Dr. Albella has been awarded for his research activities by some Spanish institutions.
