Research Group on Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Acronym: MOD3RN


Our multidisciplinary research group focuses on the development, implementation, and manufacturing of materials that merge morphology with diverse mechanical and functional properties, intending their application across various industries. Operating across the spectrum from TRL1 to TRL4, our research advances to higher levels only through collaborative efforts with industry partners.

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.
