About
Dr. Eva Vicente-Barragan is a leading researcher in sustainable materials science, specializing in the life cycle assessment and development of rare earth element (REE)-free permanent magnets. Her work addresses a critical challenge: reducing dependence on RE materials, which are geopolitically volatile and environmentally damaging to extract. Her most cited study, a 2023 Life Cycle Assessment of REE-free alternatives like sintered ferrite and Mn–Al–C magnets, quantifies their environmental benefits and technical viability for applications in energy, transport, robotics, and medicine. This research directly supports the European Union’s critical raw materials strategy by demonstrating that high-performance magnets can be produced without REs, lowering supply chain risks and ecological footprints. With 26 citations in a short time, her work is gaining rapid recognition for its practical impact on green technology and industrial policy. Dr. Vicente-Barragan’s contributions are pivotal for advancing circular economy principles in magnet manufacturing, making her a key voice in the transition toward more sustainable, ethically sourced materials for next-generation technologies.
