Félix Antonio López receiver his PhD in Chemical Sciences from the University of Valladolid (1987). He was a lecturer in the Dept. of Geochemistry at the same university from 1983 to 1984, and in 1985 he joined the CSIC with a grant awarded through the Training Plan for Research Personnel programme. In 1987 he gained a position as Scientific Collaborator with the CSIC, working on materials recycling. In 1990 he was promoted to Scientific Researcher and worked on obtaining raw materials via physical-, hydro-, and pyrometallurgical techniques, the treatment of residues via stabilizing/solidification techniques, remediation, pyrolysis, and the production of secondary raw materials and recycled products. He has published some 197 scientific papers, has an h index of 24-26, and has been cited nearly 1900 times. He is the author of 19 patents, eight of which have been transferred to industry via exploitation agreements and licensing. He is a reviewer for over 20 international journals, and since 2014 the Editor of the Revista de Metalurgia (a CSIC journal). The journal is SCI-indexed and since 2014 has enjoyed the FECYT Seal of Quality for Spanish Scientific Journals. He is also a member of the Observatory for Prospective Technological and Industrial (OPTI), sits on several national and international committees dealing with materials recycling, and collaborates in the assessment of projects through several national and regional agencies (ANEP, ANECA, SPRIT, etc.). Currently the National Coordinator for the CSIC Recycling Materials Network (RECYMAT), he held the post of Technical Deputy Director of the CENIM (CSIC) from 2000 to 2005; since 2013 he has been Deputy Director of Training and Communications of the latter institution. He has ample experience in the area of disseminating scientific knowledge to the public and of organising scientific events, and has directed 12 doctoral dissertations in different areas of specialization, as well as several Masters theses and summer courses. He is also the founder and promoter of Thermal Recycling of Composites S.L, a CSIC spin-off devoted to exploiting technologies for the recycling of end-of-life wind turbines and wastes from the aeronautical industry; he is currently the company's Director of R&D+i. Finally, he was the recipient of the 2012 R Prize for the best innovative project in the area of materials recycling, and was finalist in the IV and V Calls from the Repsol Foundation Entrepreneurs' Fund competition (2014 and 2015).

He formado parte del Observatorio de Prospectiva Tecnológica e Industrial (OPTI), perteneciendo a diversos Comités Nacionale se Internacionales, entre los que destaco el "European Steel Technology Platform (ESTEP)" y la "Plataforma Española del Acero (Platea)". Formé parte del Comité de Expertos del CSIC que gestionó la Emergencia Ecológica de Doñana en 1999.
En la actualidad, soy Evaluador de la Agencia de Calidad del Sistema Universitario de Castilla y León y de la Agencia Nacional de Evaluacióhn y Prospectiva (ANEP). Anteriormente lo fui de la Sociedad para la Promoción y Reconversión Industrial, S.A (Gobierno Vasco).
Cuento con amplia experiencia en organización de actividades de I+D (Cursos; Congresos) y en difusión de la ciencia, habiendo sido tutor de un buen número de jóvenes investigadores que se han formado tanto en la Universidad como en el CSIC.
He dirigido y participado en más de 40 proyectos de investigación aplicada desarrollados con financiación competitiva y un número equivalente de proyectos de investigación para la industria, con financiación privada.
He publicado un buen número de trabajos de investigación en revistas especializadas y figura entre los inventores de más de 18 patentes y secretos industriales, 5 de las cuales están transferidas al sector industrial.
En este momento, soy Director de la Revista de Metalurgia, una revista científica de Editorial CSIC.
Promotor de la "spin-off" del CSIC Thermal Recycling of Composites S.L.
