Josefa Mula, researcher in the national elite
It is the 4th most cited in Spain in the discipline of industrial engineering. It belongs to the Production Management and Engineering Research Center of the Alcoy Campus of the UPV.
The ranking, prepared by the Group for the Dissemination of the h-Index (DIH) from the database on scientific publications ISI Web of Knowledge, establishes a specific classification for each of the disciplines framed within the ten areas of knowledge considered: agriculture, biology, materials science, health sciences, earth sciences, physics, computer science, engineering, mathematics and chemistry.
The ranking, which was last updated in the first quarter of 2021 in the fields of agriculture, materials science, earth sciences, computer science, engineering and mathematics, details both the h-index of each researcher and his h-factor, i.e. the ratio between the h-value of the scientist and the average of the ranking of the field to which he belongs.
Avelino Corma (UPV-CSIC), Spanish scientist with the best H index.
Avelino Corma, research professor at the Spanish National Research Council at the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ, a joint UPV-CSIC center), not only leads the field of physical chemistry but is also the Spanish scientist with the best h-index. His h-index of 152 is the only one in Spain above 130. Also national leaders in their respective fields are Jaime Lloret, researcher at the Research Institute for Integrated Coastal Zone Management (IGIC) at the Gandia UPV campus (in telecommunications), and Rubén Ruiz, researcher at the Joint University Institute of Information Technology and director of the UPV Information Technologies and Resources Area (in operations research and management).
Three more UPV researchers in second position and another four in third.
Along with the three researchers who lead their disciplines, other UPV scientists appear in second position in their respective fields: Raúl Payri, from the CMT-Thermal Motors Institute (in mechanical engineering); Sebastián Martorell, researcher of the Environment and Industrial Safety Group (in industrial engineering); and Juan Carlos Cano, from the Computer Networks Group (in telecommunications). Completing the national podiums in their disciplines are Hermenegildo García (with an outstanding h-index of 102, which places him in the national top 20), from ITQ (in physical chemistry); Francisco Javier Salvador, from CMT-Motores Térmicos (in mechanical engineering); José Duato, from the Parallel Architectures Group (in computer theory and methods); and Sandra Sendra, from IGIC (in telecommunications). In addition, Jordi Payá, from the Institute of Concrete Science and Technology (ICITECH), (in construction and building technologies); José Ramón Serrano, from CMT-Thermal Engines (in mechanical engineering); and Josefa Mula Bru, from the Production Management and Engineering Research Center (in industrial engineering); fourth, all three, in their respective fields. Along with all the above, in the national top 5 there are also 6 other UPV scientists: Luis María Guanter, from the University Institute of Water and Environmental Engineering (IIAMA), (in remote sensing); José Capmany, from the University Institute of Telecommunication and Multimedia Applications (in optics); Mª Victoria Borrachero, from ICITECH (in construction and building technologies); Jaime Gómez, from IIAMA (in water resources); Francisco Payri, from CMT-Motores Térmicos (in mechanical engineering); and Alberto José Ferrer, from the Multivariate Statistical Engineering Group (in probability and statistics).
a total of 32 UPV scientists, among the top 10 in Spain in 21 disciplines.
If the list is extended to the top ten in each discipline, the UPV has 13 scientists ranked in addition to those already mentioned, making a total of 32 among the top 10 in Spain in 21 disciplines (Martí, Lloret, Martorell and Ferrer are each among the elite in two different fields). Sixth at the national level are Amparo Chiralt, from the University Institute of Food Engineering for Development (in food science and technology); Javier Martí, from the University Institute of Nanophotonic Technology (in electronics and electrical engineering); Víctor Yepes Piqueras, from ICITECH (in civil engineering); Alfred Peris, from the University Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (in mathematics); and Alberto José Ferrer, from the Multivariate Statistical Engineering Group (in interdisciplinary mathematical applications). In seventh place are Ricardo Flores, from the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Plants (IBMCP), (in virology); Manuel Agustí, from the Mediterranean Agroforestry Institute (in horticulture); Jaime Gimeno, from CMT-Motores Térmicos (in mechanical engineering); and Pedro Albertos, from the Department of Systems Engineering, Computers and Automation (in control and automation systems);and in eighth place, Ramón Martínez Máñez, secretary of the Inter-University Institute for Molecular Recognition Research and Technological Development (in multidisciplinary chemistry); and José María Monzó, from ICITECH (in construction and building technologies). Completing the list of nationally outstanding UPV researchers are José Luis Gómez, from the Center for Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering (in polymer science); and Javier Martí, from the University Institute of Nanophotonic Technology (in optics); both ninth in the disciplines considered; and Jaime Lloret, from the IGIC (in electronics and electrical engineering); Sebastián Martorell, researcher of the Environment and Industrial Safety Group (in operations research and management); and José María Desantes and José Galindo, both from CMT-Motores Térmicos, in tenth place nationally.
