Advanced Materials and Manufacturing (MOD3RN)

Research Lines

The current lines of research are:

• Development of multiferroic materials in the form of sheets using sustainable methods for electronic devices.
• Development of perovskite structure materials with “colossal magnetoresistance” properties tailored for sensor applications.
• Creation of ceramic magnets to replace rare-earth magnets, aiming to reduce geopolitical dependencies and cost.
• Exploration of energy systems leveraging the Marangoni effect in fluids.
• Advancements in lightweight magnesium alloys, enhancing mechanical properties for aerospace applications.
• Metal 3D printing: Alloy development, process characterization, and variable analysis for part optimization.
• Optimization in design, topological and trajectory (‘graphological’) aspects for industrial 3D printing.
• Research on nanometric fractions of plastics to study their biological impact on cells.
• Development of comprehensive finite element models, integral for all research areas, converging material and manufacturing advancements towards objectives.
