Emilio Lora-Tamayo D'Ocon (5 November 1950 – 29 March 2024) was a Spanish physicist and university professor. He served as the president of the Spanish National Research Council twice,[1] and honorary rector for life of the Universidad Camilo José Cela.[2]
Early life and education
Emilio Lora-Tamayo was born on 5 November 1950, in Madrid,[3] the son of Manuel Lora-Tamayo, Minister of Education (1962-1968) and also president of the Spanish National Research Council (1967–1971).
Lora-Tamayo received his PhD in physical sciences from the University of Madrid. He completed his training at the École Supérieure de l'Aeronautique et de l'Espace and the Laboratoire de l'Informatique et de l'Electronique in France.
Career
Prior to the completion of his doctorate, Lora-Tamayo worked at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), devoted in particular to microelectronics. Following the 2002 Prestige oil spill, he was one of the researchers appointed to the Scientific Advisory Committee convened by the Spanish government. Previously, he held the post of Professor of Electronics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He was vice president of Scientific and Technical Research at the CSIC between 1996 and 2003. In 2003 he was appointed president of the CSIC by the government of José María Aznar.[4] Between 2008 and 2012 he directed the CSIC's Barcelona Microelectronics Institute of the CSIC until the moment he was again appointed president of the CSIC by the government of Mariano Rajoy.[5]
Statements made by Lora-Tamayo in November 2014 describing the brain drain in Spain as an "exaggerated urban legend" caused unease in the Spanish scientific community due to the declining numbers of researchers in the CSIC and emigration to institutes abroad.[6][7]
Also criticised was the abrupt dismissal, on the grounds of "lack of confidence", of the director of the Estación Biológica de Doñana, Juan José Negro, ten months before the end of his mandate on 30 September 2015. Negro had been proposed by a majority of his fellow researchers. The environmental organisation WWF said it would not like the dismissal to have been "a punishment for his clear and exemplary stance in the management of Doñana on issues such as the dredging of the Guadalquivir, the reopening of the Aznalcóllar mines or the claim for funds so that the Doñana Biological Station can continue".[8][9]
He was appointed rector of Menéndez Pelayo International University in November 2017, but less than a year later, the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, chaired by Pedro Duque, demanded his resignation. Initially he declined, but the ministry presented a motion of censure in November 2018 after having renewed the Board of Trustees, the body in charge of the decision, after which he agreed to resign.[10][11][12] According to Lora-Tamayo, the government asked him to resign in order to put a woman in the post, with the secretary of state, Ángeles Heras Caballero, arguing that this was the government's political line.[13] He was succeeded in the post by María Luz Morán Calvo-Sotelo, daughter of Fernando Morán López, PhD in Political Science and Sociology from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.[10]
He served as rector of the Universidad Camilo José Cela from 2020 to 2023.[14][2]
During his academic career, he published over 100 articles in scientific journals and presented more than 150 papers at national and international conferences. He co-authored seven patents.[15] He was also a member of the Real Academia San Dionisio of Jerez and of the Real Academia de Ciencias y Artes de Barcelona.
Lora-Tamayo died in Madrid on 29 March 2024, aged 73.[16][17][18]
