Jordi Ibáñez-Insa is a Materials Scientist specialized in using different analytical tools like X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Raman spectroscopy or optical techniques (FTIR, optical absorption/reflectance, hyperspectral imaging). His current research is focused on the investigation of the fundamental (structural, vibrational, optical) properties at ambient conditions and at high pressures of crystalline solids, including Earth materials, rare minerals, meteorites, or technologically-important compounds (advanced materials). Starting from 2010, he is the Scientific Director of GEO3BCN’s X-ray Diffraction Laboratory, which offers support to GEO3BCN researchers and also to external users from public and private universities and companies worldwide. This has allowed him to initiate new lines of research related to mineralogy (powder XRD) and geochemistry (portable XRF), as well as to stablish new collaborations with several national and international research groups on different topics like planetary science, archaeology, cultural heritage, or construction materials. One of the milestones of his recent work includes the discovery of the new mineral abellaite, approved by the International Mineralogy Association in 2014, which has recently triggered new research work on rare minerals, mineral deposits and critical materials.
