Irene González Hernández (La Orotava, 20 October 1969 - Tucson, 13 February 2014) was a Spanish researcher and astrophysicist, promoter of the development of holographic techniques in local helioseismology, which allow detecting solar activity in the non-visible hemisphere of the Sun.

Her work was focused on the scientific exploitation of the new high-quality data that the Global Oscillation Network Group project was providing, one of whose instruments, and nodes, was located at the Teide Observatory.

In 2003, she returned to the NSO with a senior research contract to lead a project developing holographic techniques that detect solar activity in the non-visible hemisphere of the Sun.

González developed this new technique, which allows predicting fundamental characteristics of the activity that should appear in the visible hemisphere due to the rotation movement.

At the same time, the Secondary Education Institute, IES La Orotava, began the Irene González Hernández Science and Technology Conference, which has continued annually.
