Scope of the seminar

The main objective of the seminar is to analyse and discuss the most recent advances and emerging challenges in Materials Science and Engineering, with particular emphasis on:

·       Microstructural design and control of advanced materials.

·       Processing–microstructure–property relationships.

·       The role of modelling, advanced characterization techniques, and sustainable metallurgy.

·       Knowledge transfer from fundamental research to high value-added industrial applications.

In addition, the seminar aims to acknowledge the scientific, academic and personal contributions of Professor José Manuel Torralba, highlighting his role as driving force behind integrative approaches that bridge basic science, process engineering and industrial application.
