RESEARCH
Our research focuses on CERAMIC MATERIALS.
We are interested in Near-Net-Shaping Powder Ceramic Processing routes that allow us to develop complex geometry components, with an exhaustive control of the microstructure of highly reliable dense and porous components.
We mostly work developing Materials for Extreme Applications, understanding how the manipulation of the interparticle forces between particles could be tailored to develop innovative controlled microstructures that allow us to target desired macroscopic properties and performance, like thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, permeability or oxidation resistance,
The materials properties prediction is paramount for advancing in developing these extreme application materials, so we are interested in developing modelling approaches that helps us capturing faithfully the intrincate microstructure and predict properties at very high temperature or corrosive environments.
The overall emphasis of our material science and engineering approach is Advance Manufacturing of bulk large size complex geometry ceramic components with tunable microstructure, with the same features of the lab scale counterparts.
Our current research interests are shown below:
