Advanced Manufacturing

About the Group

This multidisciplinary research group develops new materials, tooling, and manufacturing processes to trigger new design concepts and potential new products. The group performs modeling, synthesis, and characterization of nanostructured materials.

Advanced processes of interest include additive manufacturing (3D printing), subtractive manufacturing (industrial laser and micro-milling), and forming. Potential research applications include medical devices, transportation, energy, and construction.


Research lines

• Competitive intelligence, technological innovation processes, and product life cycle.
• Synthesis and manufacture of nanoparticles, nanostructures, and nano-reinforced materials.
• Modeling of nanostructures and multiscale manufacturing using computational calculation tools, quantum chemistry and mechanics, molecular dynamics, density functional theory, finite element, and computational fluid dynamics, among others.
• Mechanical (fracture, fatigue, corrosion, tribology) and structural characterization of advanced materials.
