Abstract: The goal of regenerative medicine is to control an individual’s healing response after trauma, working at the cellular level to repair damaged tissue. However, to successfully intervene in tissue repair, there must be a basic understanding of the types

ABSTRACT: The current global pandemic (COVID-19) and other recent major epidemics, including SARS and MERS and the historical Spanish flu, are caused by respiratory viruses that affect the lung. To better understand the pathophysiology of these diseases and develop preventive

Abstract: The current paradigm that guides much materials and manufacturing research is to optimize a materials’ (hierarchical) structure to accomplish a specific function and to then assemble different components made with different materials into ever more complex arrangements in order

The PhD Defense will take place on the 17th of June, at 11:00 am, in the “Salon de Grados” (Module 8) of the Faculty of Sciences of the Autonomous University of Madrid (Cantoblanco). The dissertation is entitled “Stable lithium-sulfur batteries

Abstract: Residual stresses are those that remain in the material after external loads have been removed. To satisfy static equilibrium, they are self-equilibrating. Residual stresses are generated as a response of the material to inhomogeneous permanent inelastic strains. The latter

The PhD Defense will take place the 24th of May at 11:00 am in the José Echegaray room (sala verde) of the Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. The dissertation is entitled

Abstract: Neural networks are able to approximate nonlinear functions with accuracy. This makes them suited for many fields far from their origin in computer science.In this work we will apply these neural networks to composite materials from two different perspectives:

Abstract: Carbon microelectromechanical system (carbon MEMS) has emerged as a technique alternative to silicon-based MEMS technologies in the last two decades. Although carbon-MEMS allows for the fabrication of 3D carbon microstructures useful for several applications, complex architectures are still a

The PhD Defense will take place the 4th of May, at 10:30. The assistance will be remote:https://short.upm.es/t3l99 The dissertation is entitled “Perovskite for hybrid light emitting devices”. It was supervised by Prof. Dr. Rubén D. Costa and Prof. Dr. De-Yi

Abstract a short bio down here: High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are multi-principal elements materials that challenge the traditional alloy design techniques. Due to their large design space and ample mechanical, optical, electrical, and thermal properties, HEAs are exiting material systems to

The PhD Defense will take place on the 22nd of April, at 11:30 am. in the “Sala Verde” of the Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos at UPM. The dissertation is entitled “Quest for Fire-safe Lithium-ion Batteries”. It

Abstract: Hydrogels are used as scaffolds in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM) for different applications such as delivery vehicles for bioactive molecules, space filling agents and as three-dimensional structures hosting cells to stimulate the regeneration of the desired tissue.

Abstract: In recent years, combinatorial materials science has had a major impact helping to accelerate the discovery and development of new materials. The combinatorial approach encompasses the combinatorial synthesis and high-throughput characterization methods. Among the different techniquesfor combinatorial synthesis, magnetron

Abstract: Magnesium and its alloys are promising biodegradable metal scaffolds for potential bone regeneration applications, such as bioabsorbable implants. However, for this to be possible, further developments are necessary. On the one hand, Mg tends to corrode at a high
