Doctor by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid with the thesis Emulación de los efectos de la radiación ionizante en dispositivos analógicos mediante láser pulsado de femtosegundo sintonizable 2011. Supervised by Dr. Francisco Javier Franco Peláez.

Isabel López Calle achieved her PhD with “Cum Laude” qualification in Physics at the University Complutense of Madrid in 2011. She worked firstly at the Applied Physics Department of Complutense University of Madrid to develop a LASER irradiation system as an alternative tool to evaluate radiation effects on SPACE components at a much lower cost than particle accelerators. The LASER system model attracts the attention of European Space Agency (ESA) and thanks to the Subprogram of Specialization at International Scientifics Infrastructures, she moved to the EUROPEAN SPACE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER of ESA focusing on the standardization process of this new technique for the European Space Industry. She started the guidelines for a new laser technique for EEE components evaluation under radiation as complementary tool to the traditional particle accelerators. Her natural research line is the synergy between high power pulsed lasers and its applicability to society and industry and also the evaluation of electronics devices under hard radiation conditions. In addition, she has gained strong experience in technology based companies, she was a radiation engineering at ALTER technology TUV Nord, performing tasks of EEE components radiation evaluation and supervising the radiation laboratory RADLAB®. In UCA University she is professor of electronics on several degrees as Aerospace, Electronics, Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, and she part of the sensors and instrumentation research group of UCM. In addition, she is currently development several research innovations work as a part of her daily job.
