News / 02-03-2021
Santiago Cuesta is an ideologue of innovation ecosystems at the international level, from the resilience of industrial value chains in Europe in their dependence on raw materials to the international impulse in generating new advanced materials for energy storage. Cuesta López promotes European Intelligent Specialisation Platforms for Industrial Modernisation. Specifically, the two platforms, where it is coordinating actions, work to boost the mining industry, associated services and global value chains for the sustainable advancement of 21st century technology, and the development of new advanced materials to ensure the energy value chain, focusing its operations on the sustainable progress of batteries.
At the level of cutting-edge research, his latest work generates new advances in the challenge of achieving a genome of materials thanks to supercomputing.
He has already led three H2020 projects within the excellent science pillar that are generating and discovering new materials immune to nuclear radiation damage. In fact, his latest work published in the prestigious journal Acta Materialia applies all this knowledge to discover new materials for effective and sustainable solar power generation without using critical materials.
