Javier LLorca has received the Career Award of the Spanish Society of Materials (SOCIEMAT). The award was given during the Banquet Dinner of the XV National Congress of Materials, that was held in Salamanca from July 4th to 6th, 2018.

The award recognises the pioneer contributions of Prof. LLorca in the application of computational tools and multiscale modeling strategies to establish the processing-structure-properties relationships of structural materials., so new materials can be designed and optimized in silico, before they are actually manufactured in the laboratory.
