Faustino Mujika is Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the field “Mechanics of Continuum Media and Theory of Structures”in the Faculty of Engineering of Gipuzkoa, at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). He obtained the Master Degree in Mechanical Engineering in the High Technical School of Engineers of San Sebastian (University of Navarra).

With respect to undergraduate teaching, he has been involved in subjects related to Rigid Body Mechanics and Mechanics of Materials. He has also been teaching Mechanics of Composite Materials in Master studies in the Faculty of Engineering of Gipuzkoa and in the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao. He has supervised 9 doctoral theses related to the mechanical behaviour of Composite Materials.

Concerning research activity, he has analyzed mechanical tests related to flexural behaviour of composite laminates, introducing new test methodologies and novel test methods. Simple and low cost test methods have been proposed by using more developed novel analytical methods. Nowadays he is the head of “Mechanics of Materials” Group. He has attended numerous national and international conferences. He is coauthor in more than 50 articles included in the Web of Science, 27 of them having direct relation with the 9 supervised doctoral theses.
