About
Dr. Myriam Montes is a leading researcher in sustainable materials science, with a primary focus on the life cycle assessment and development of rare earth element (REE)-free permanent magnet alternatives. Her work addresses a critical challenge in the green energy transition: the environmental and geopolitical vulnerabilities of REE supply chains. Her most cited study, "Life Cycle Assessment of Rare Earth Elements-Free Permanent Magnet Alternatives: Sintered Ferrite and Mn–Al–C" (2023, 26 citations), provides a comprehensive environmental evaluation of promising substitutes like sintered ferrite and Mn-Al-C alloys. This research is pivotal for industries ranging from electric vehicles and wind turbines to robotics and medical devices, offering a roadmap to reduce reliance on critical raw materials. By quantifying the ecological trade-offs of these alternatives, Montes empowers manufacturers and policymakers to make informed decisions for a more resilient and sustainable magnet supply chain. Her work stands at the intersection of materials engineering and environmental science, directly supporting the decarbonization of key technologies.
