Jorge de la Pezuela Ferreira
Jorge is an ITPS member since january 27, 2025. He is a researcher in materials engineering, currently a predoctoral researcher at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. He earned his Bachelor's in Materials Engineering in 2020 and a Master's in Materials Processing Technologies in 2021 from the same university. His focus is on additive manufacturing and metallic materials.
His PhD research revolves around additive manufacturing of magnesium alloys, with applications in transportation and healthcare. He conducted a predoctoral research stay at the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague, expanding his expertise in the field. He has published in international journals and presented at conferences such as Euromat and the National Materials Congress.
He has strong computational skills, including AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion360, ANSYS, and Matlab. Additionally, he has received training in thermodynamics and phase equilibria, as well as airport design following ICAO standards. Additionally, he has specialized training in laser surface treatments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and additive manufacturing equipment.
His professional experience includes roles as a support researcher at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and a failure analysis engineer at Trabajos Técnicos y Científicos S.L. He has worked on material characterization, process optimization, and supplier management for additive manufacturing materials.
Beyond research, Jorge has been actively involved in student representation and extracurricular activities. As a project engineer for the Formula URJC team, he contributed to designing the braking and steering systems for a Formula Student competition vehicle. He also managed logistics, marketing, and sponsorship acquisition.
His C1-level English proficiency has been crucial for his predoctoral research stay in Prague, facilitating effective communication and collaboration in an international environment. It has also enabled him to work with international research groups at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, investigating the impact resistance and electrochemical behaviour of additively manufactured metallic materials.
He is passionate about advancing materials engineering and exploring new possibilities in additive manufacturing.
