Activities

The PhD Defense will take place at 11:00 am, in the Sala Echegaray, E. T. S. de Ingenieros de Caminos, Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid. The dissertation is entitled “Fatigue behavior and fatigue crack initiation micromechanisms of rolled AZ31 Mg alloy”. It

Abstract: The structures of materials play a critical role in defining their unique properties and applications. In particular, the engineering of materials to enhance their performance or understand their defect, dislocation, impurity, or catalytic activity requires knowledge of atomistic-level structures.

Abstract: The morphology of grains produced during metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) can be very different from that given by conventional processing and is central to controlling the properties of the final build. In addition, the interfacial velocities and temperature gradients

Abstract: Digital Light Processing (DLP)[1] is an additive manufacturing technology based on a Vat photopolymerisation process. 3D objects are manufactured layer upon layer by projecting 2D light patterns onto a liquid photocurable resin. This fast and accurate process is usually

Abstract: Various metals have been used as battery anodes in electrochemical cells ever since the birth of the batteries with Volta’s pile and in the first commercialized primary (Zn/MnO2, Leclanché 1866) and secondary (Pb/acid, Planté 1859) batteries. Li-MoS2 cells, employing

Abstract: What role has metallurgy played in the technological development of our civilization as we know it? How is metallurgy linked to the so-called green technologies? How is metallurgy related to the development of new ways of generating energy? What

Abstract: Fe-based soft magnetic bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have shown unprecedented magnetization saturation and coercivity values and are thus envisioned as potential candidates to increase the efficiency of electromagnetic components. Laser powder bed fusion (LBPF) allows to manufacture relatively large

Abstract:The modeling of plastic deformation over the length scales has still been a challengeable problem. One of the most crucial defect interactions related to the plasticity is the reaction between the dislocation and GB, that is, GB strengthening of Hall-Petch

Abstract The increasing awareness for the reduction of environmental damage caused by synthetic polymers is contributing to the growth of sustainable biopolymer sectors. In the last decade, numerous research resources have been devoted to replace the fossil-based polymers available in

The PhD Defense will take place at 12:00 am, in the “Salón de Grados – Edificio Padre Soler” of the University Carlos III of Madrid in Leganes. The dissertation is entitled “Facilitating development of special clays by incorporation of machine

Abstract:AI is transforming our approach to molecular engineering. Driven by the goal of accelerating drug development, our aim is to develop AI-driven molecular engineering methods which will enhance our approach to biomolecular discovery, such as drug discovery, drug repurposing, and

Abstract: Biodegradable magnesium-based stents (BMgS) present outstanding potential to revolutionize the treatment of coronary artery diseases, in which full recovery of arteries without long-term irritation of implants is anticipated for averting adverse events associated with the permanent stents. In this

Abstract: Developing a multiscale paradigm requires careful investigation of composite materials at the microscale. Experimental approaches that capture progressive damage of complex heterogeneous materials would enable a new understanding of failure phenomena. To further enhance our knowledge, a near-digital twin

The PhD Defense will take place at 11:00 am, in the “Adoration Room of Michael 1.2.C16” of the University Carlos III of Madrid in Leganes. The dissertation is entitled “Effect of Microstructure on Architected Materials Fabricated by Additive Manufacturing”. It

Abstract: Photonics, Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials are considered by the European Commission as key enabling technology due to the transcendental fields where these technologies have proved their capacity to provide solutions, as improved sensors, imaging and treatment in medicine, or

Abstract: Despite that Mg has a lot of possible applications, the easiest deformation mechanism in Mg alloys, basal slip, can only provide two independent slip systems, leading to large plastic anisotropy and poor mechanical properties of Mg alloys at room

Abstract: 3D extrusion printing has evolved as one of the most employed manufacturing techniques for the fabrication of polymer scaffolds for applications in tissue engineering. Within the context, the selection of the polymer hydrogel to be employed as biomaterial ink

Abstract Carbon nanomaterials show remarkable heating rates in response to applied radio frequency (RF) fields. We can now show that these responses may be generalized across a wide range of nanomaterial-loaded structures, including carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, and laser-induced graphene.
