Meet Our Speakers
Dr. Miguel Ángel Sanjuán
Technical University of Madrid, Spain;
Dr. Miguel Ángel Sanjuán graduated in Chemistry in 1987 at the Complutense University of Madrid in Spain. In 1988, he joined Técnicas Reunidas where he worked successfully in as Chemical Process Engineer. In 1992, he obtained his PhD in Industrial Chemistry from the Complutense University defending a Thesis developed in the “Eduardo Torroja” Institute of Construction Sciences on corrosion of concrete steel reinforcement. Between 1993 and 1995 he was an Academic Visitor (Marie Curie Fellow) at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London, UK. His involvement in the cement industry began in 1997, as he started working for the Cement and Mortars Area of the Spanish Institute of Cement and its Applications (IECA). Since 2001 to 2013, he was the Technical Director of the IECA’s Industrial department in charge of the certification of more than 200 cements. He was involved in several projects related to the use of additions in cements. Currently, Dr Miguel Ángel Sanjuán is the Head of the Cement and Mortars Area of the Spanish Institute of Cement and its Applications (IECA) and is an Associate Professor at Polytechnic University of Madrid since 2009. He is the Secretary of the Spanish Standardization Technical Committee AEN/CTN-80 “Cements and lime for construction” and Convenor of the European Standardization Technical Committee CEN/TC51/WG14 “Hydraulic Road Binders”.

On Monday, 27 June 2022, MDPI and the Materials Journal organized the 8th webinar on Materials, entitled "New Cements to Mitigate the Climatic Change". The introduction was held by the Chair of the webinar, Dr. Miguel Ángel Sanjuán, and his presentation "The New European Standard EN 197-5:2021 of Portland-Composite Cement CEM II/C-M and Composite Cement CEM VI as a Lever to Contribute to the Mitigation of the Effects of Climate Change". The following presentation was held by Dr. Luigi Coppola with his presentation "A Sustainability Index for Construction Materials: Performance, Durability and Environmental Parameters". The last presenter Dr. Sukhoon Pyo talked about "How Efficiently Can Waste Concrete Powder and Bottom Ash Powder Be Used for Sustainable Concrete?". The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair Dr. Miguel Ángel Sanjuán.
The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found below. In order to stay updated on the next webinars on Materials, be sure to sign up for our newsletter by clicking on “Subscribe” at the top of the page.
