González Hernández, Margarita

Tenured Scientist at the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). She received a Ph.D. degree from the School of Industrial Engineering of the Technical University of Madrid in 2002. She has been at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) since 1998 and has participated in more than fifteen research projects with public and private financing. She has wide experience in the development of methodologies applied to the characterization and inspection of materials with special attention to cementitious materials. Their current scientific research interests include digital signal processing and ultrasonic methods of non-destructive testing. She has obtained satisfactory results that have been exposed and published in scientific reviews and reports at national and international congresses. At the present time is involving in the development of methodologies for characterize the cementititious materials, from the manufacturing process until the service life, by non-destructive testing using embedded sensors and ultrasonic imaging.
