Resumen: Beyond its capability to create intricate geometries, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is a powerful tool for tailoring the microstructure of metallic materials. By carefully adjusting process parameters, L-PBF enables fine tuning of crystallographic textures – a particularly critical

Resumen: El seminario explorará los principales desafíos en el diseño y desarrollo de sistemas de administración de fármacos dirigidos a tratamientos específicos de enfermedades. Se hará especial énfasis en estrategias para superar barreras biológicas, con un enfoque en la entrega

Resumen: The talk will explore the key challenges in the design and development of drug delivery systems aimed at targeted disease treatment. Special emphasis will be placed on strategies for crossing biological barriers, with a focus on targeting the brain,

Resumen: Sports injuries often arise from the limited ability of the human locomotor system to effectively store and release elastic energy during high-demand activities (Nigg & Wakeling, 2001). Current athletic footwear technologies rely heavily on energy-absorbing polymers that reduce impact

Resumen: Additive manufacturing (AM), particularly laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), has revolutionized the fabrication of high-performance metal components for aerospace by enabling more complex geometries to be produced with superior mechanical properties and minimal material waste [1-5]. High-strength Ni-based superalloys

La defensa de la tesis doctoral se llevará a cabo en Sala 3.S01.08, Edificio Biblioteca Rey Pastor, Universidad Carlos III – Campus de Leganés. Ha sido asesorada por Directora: Dra. María Teresa Pérez Prado y Tutora: Prof. Mónica Campos Gómez.

Resumen: The presence of minor grain boundary solutes such as boron and zirconium can have significant consequences for the production of superalloys using additive manufacturing methods. On the one hand, their presence in the bulk chemistry is crucial for achieving

Resumen: Optimizing the performance of engineering alloys during manufacturing and service conditions requires a keen understanding of their microstructure evolution under applied temperature and load. It is thus a challenging task, because under the influence of an external load and/or

Resumen: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is efficiently absorbed by the atmosphere of the Earth and its relevance and usefulness in materials processing has been often disregarded being this type of studies relegated to astrophysics and space science and exploration. In this

Resumen: Additive manufacturing (AM) is revolutionizing how we synthesize, produce, and use metallic materials. However, out of hundreds of commercially available engineering alloys, only a handful are readily printable. This arises from the extreme heating and cooling rates associated with

La defensa de la tesis doctoral se llevará a cabo en la Sala Leonardo Torres Quevedo, Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos (UPM). La disertación se titula «Desarrollo de andamiajes biodegradables impresos en 3D para ingeniería

Resumen: This thesis investigates key challenges in the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries by using a fully silicon-based nanowire anode as a model system. The work focuses on understanding the mechanisms responsible for capacity fading—such as SEI instability, mechanical degradation,

Resumen: Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are a potential alternative to diversify the energy landscape, beyond Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), due to their similar storage mechanism and easy technology transfer. Currently, the benchmark anodes for SIBs are hard carbons (HCs), since sodium

Abstract: Energy: H2 production The development of TiO₂-based photocatalysts modified with palladium for efficient hydrogen (H₂) production under UV-visible and visible light irradiation has been explored. By combining high-surface-area mesoporous TiO₂ with small amounts of Pd, the researchers aimed to

Resumen: Cast Mg alloys have found many applications and current focus of research is on wrought Mg alloys. One major challenge in this effort is poor formability of Mg alloys. In this talk, I will present the results of current

Resumen: In this talk, I will present our work on developing machine learning methods to accelerate the design and discovery of nanoporous materials, with a focus on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Over the past decades, the synthesis of over 100,000 MOFs
