Abstract: Professor Sudesh Sivarasu leads the University of Cape Town (UCT) MedTech laboratory. Prof Sivarasu is one of the best known in the field of medical device innovation both nationally and internationally. He has been named a prolific inventor by

Abstract: Predictive machine learning (ML) tools can accelerate the discovery of new materials and enable semi or fully autonomous research. In addition, ML tools are playing an increasingly central role in physics-based simulations, enabling a combination of accuracy and computational

Abstract: To this end, full-field mesoscale computational modeling of statistical volume elements and calibration and validation experiments provide a pathway for establishing microstructure-property relationships in additively manufactured parts. However, the fidelity of these relationships is sensitive to the microstructure representation

Abstract: Often the society thinks researchers can do almost everything they want. They imagine that we can convert immediately all our ideas into experiments, even the silliest and strangest ones, without telling anyone or asking permission. And this far from

POLYKEY is a start-up of the Polymat Basque Excellency Research Centre in Spain in 2020. It intends to contribute to the future of polymers with a strategic vision and commitment to innovation and sustainability.

Abstract: When metals are exposed to hydrogen (H)-rich environments, they may lose ductility and fail catastrophically without showing any sign of damage. This problem is known as hydrogen embrittlement (HE). Over the last few decades, extensive research on HE has shown that hydrogen-assisted cracking is a microstructure-sensitive phenomenon.

The PhD defence will take place in the room 3.S01.08, Building Rey Pastor (library), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid – Leganés Campus. It has been advised by Profs. J.LLorca and C. González.

Abstract: The demand for advanced clinical treatments for various soft and hard tissue injuries and diseases has led to the development of innovative biodegradable implant materials. Compared to their non-degrading counterparts, implants made of biodegradable polymers or metals degrade progressively

Abstract: Solid state lithium ion batteries are promising as the next-generation energy storagesystem due to their high energy density, thermal stability, and volumetricminiaturization. Even though, the ionic conductivity of solid state electrolytes is oftenblamed to be the bottle neck of

The PhD defence will take place in “Sala Verde de ETSICCP (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos) de la UPM”.The dissertation is titled «Dimensional stability of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers prepared by Infusion Processes».It has been

Abstract: Epoxy resin adhesive mainly consists of two parts: epoxy resin and curing agent. The currently commonly used ones are epoxy thermosetting resins derived from fossil resources, which have a permanent cross-linked structure and can only be used once, cannot

Abstract In this presentation, I will describe how data science, machine learning (ML) and high-throughput synthesis can be combined to achieve accelerated development and discovery of solid-state materials for energy applications. I will describe 6S, a self-sintered scalable solid-state synthesis

The PhD defense will be held at 11:30 am on March 15th in the “ESTI Caminos, Canales y Puertos de la UPM”Room: Department of Materials Science Classroom. Our best wishes to him!

Abstract: Porous metals are increasingly important in technology. Due to their tunable me- chanical properties, they are promising candidates in various emerging applications such as metallic scaffolds for load-bearing bones, lightweight structures for trans- port technologies, electrodes for electrochemical energy

Abstract: The high standards and requirements demanded in high-speed machining (HSM) applications some examples are the precise manufacturing of microelectronics circuits or biomedical devices – comprise a delicate control of the tool preparation as well as coatings design and finish,

Abstract: The applications of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) vary widely from the transport sector (viz. electric vehicles, aircraft, robotics, drones, etc.) to battery energy storage technologies supporting and strengthening the power grid to mitigate the problem of intermittency of renewable energy

Abstract: Clear aligner treatment (CAT) is a new technique to treat malocclusions which ison current expansion along the globe and also gaining importance in oral medicine. Oral diseases are the third most expensive medical treatment in accumulatednumbers yearly in Europe,
