Activities

Seminar of Prof. Raúl Sánchez-Martín – “Introduction to Machine Learning with Python: Image Processing and Recognition” – April 4th 2017, Seminar Room at 5:00 pm

ABSTRACT: Machine learning, an important part of artificial intelligence, has made a huge impact on many different areas (baking, logistic, telecommunications, etc.) during the last years. Following this trend, there are clear indications that this data-driven technique will play a fundamental role

Seminar Prof. Jorge Alcalá – “Multi-scale mechanistic interpretations to indentation experiments across the material length scales: from continuum to atomistic” – Seminar Room (12:00)

Abstract We provide a fundamental contact mechanics background to the interpretation of spherical indentation experiments performed in polycrystalline aggregates, single crystalline units, thin films, and minute material scales comprising an atomistic ensemble. A central issue under examination is

First Year Assessment of José Antonio Santiago entittle “Enhanced Diamond-Like Carbon coatings and tribomechanical properties via innovative sputtering processes”

Abstract:  Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coatings have been recognized as one of the most valuable engineering materials for various industrial applications including manufacturing, transportation, biomedical and microelectronics. Among its many properties, DLC stands out for good frictional behaviour

Kick-off of CRASHING project, coordinated by IMDEA Materials

CRASHING is an European project funded by the Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative (JTI-Clean Sky) within the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union. In this ambitious two years research project, the state-of-the-art in multiscale simulation of composites will be transferred to the current

NFRP project starts

Dr. Roberto Guzman de Villoria, head researcher of the Nano-Architectures and Materials Design group of IMDEA Materials Institute, has been awarded with the prestigious Marie Curie Action (CIG) to carry out a four year research project on Nano-Engineered Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (NFRP). See NFRP
