Jorge de la Pezuela Ferreira

I am a researcher in materials engineering, currently a predoctoral researcher at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. I earned my Bachelor's in Materials Engineering in 2020 and a Master's in Materials Processing Technologies in 2021 from the same university. My focus is on additive manufacturing and metallic materials.

My PhD research revolves around additive manufacturing of magnesium alloys, with applications in transportation and healthcare. I conducted a predoctoral research stay at the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague, expanding my expertise in the field. I have published in international journals and presented at conferences such as Euromat and the National Materials Congress.

I have strong computational skills, including AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion360, ANSYS, and Matlab. Additionally, I have received training in thermodynamics and phase equilibria, as well as airport design following ICAO standards. Additionally, I have specialized training in laser surface treatments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and additive manufacturing equipment.

My 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. I have worked on material characterization, process optimization, and supplier management for additive manufacturing materials.

Beyond research, I have been actively involved in student representation and extracurricular activities. As a project engineer for the Formula URJC team, I contributed to designing the braking and steering systems for a Formula Student competition vehicle. I also managed logistics, marketing, and sponsorship acquisition.

My C1-level English proficiency has been crucial for my predoctoral research stay in Prague, facilitating effective communication and collaboration in an international environment. It has also enabled me 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.

I am passionate about advancing materials engineering and exploring new possibilities in additive manufacturing.
