Angel Sanjurjo
Director
Materials & Processes

During Angel Sanjurjo's 25-plus year career, he has specialized in production of inorganic materials and coatings, process development, semiconductor technology, extractive metallurgy, and solar energy conversion. Research work under his leadership has led to significant advances.

• Semiconductor technology: production, purification, casting, crystal growth, and physico-chemical characterization of Si, GaAs materials, and solar cells
• Coatings: metallic and ceramic coatings for improved corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Thin films: production of films for semiconductor, superconductor, and optoelectronic applications; production of oxides, nitride, carbides, fluorides, borides, sulfide powders and coatings
• Pollution Abatement: combustion gases clean-up
• Degradation of materials at high temperatures: metals and ceramics in combustion environments
• Technoeconomic feasibility studies
• Review of NASA technical disclosures

In addition to his research work at SRI, Dr. Sanjurjo has experience in sales and marketing for XEROX as well as computer-assisted instruction at Stanford University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Illinois in Urbana. He was an associate and assistant professor and doctoral research fellow at the University of Santiago, Spain.

Dr. Sanjurjo is a member of the Materials Research Society, the Electrochemical Society, the American Vacuum Society and the Metallurgical Society. In 1973, he was awarded a Ford Foundation Fellowship. He is also the recipient of nine NASA certificates of recognition. Dr. Sanjurjo has more than 50 publications to his credit. He holds over 20 patents on silicon technology, metallurgy, reactor design, chemical vapor deposition, coatings, and powders

Dr. Sanjurjo received an M.Sc. in chemistry and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry, summa cum laude, from the University of Santiago (Spain), and an M.A. in education from Stanford University.
