Senior Engineer from the School of Mechanical Engineers of San Sebastian, University of Navarra (2003). Since 2004 I have been a researcher in the Industry and Mobility Unit of Tecnalia Research & Innovation within the manufacturing processes and materials department. I have participated in different research projects, both national and European.

The main industrial sectors of the projects in which I have participated are the automotive, aeronautics and space. The main lines of work are the manufacturing processes in composite material especially focused on rapid manufacturing processes such as direct resistive heating or the design and manufacture of molds or self-heating membranes.

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.

Soy Doctora en Química por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. He realizado mi tesisen el Instituto de Ciencias de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM). He realizado una estancia en el extranjero en el laboratorio de Física de la Materia Condensada de la Universidad Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau (Francia). He trabajado en CIEMAT en el departamento de Energía en la Unidad de Pilas de Combustible.

Actualmente me encuentro trabajando como Profesora Contratada de Doctors en el
departamento de Matemática Aplicada, Ciencia e Ingeniería de los Materiales y Tecnología Electrónica de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos.

Soy especialista en la fabricación de nuevos materiales vía síntesis en fase húmeda de baja temperatura (síntesis hidrotermal, sol-gel, síntesis en capas delgadas mediante spray pirólisis). Manejo todas las técnicas de caracterización de materiales (microscopía: SEM, TEM, cristalografía de electrones, resolución de estructuras cristalinas por difracción de Rayos-X, análisis por IR, micro- y nanofabricación, análisis térmico diferencial, espectroscopía óptica, perfilometría). Especialista en la síntesis de nanocristales dopados con tierras raras para la obtención de propiedades espectrocópicas optimizadas.

También soy especialista en la fabricación de materiales poliméricos termoplásticos con impresión 3D, dispersión de nanorefuerzos en matrices poliméricas y en la extrusión de los mismos. Actualmente me encuentro optimizando la fabricación de probetas de Surlyn con y sin un nanorefuerzo de nanotubos de fibra de carbono vía impresión 3D y realizando una comparación de las propiedades mecánicas y evaluando la capacidad de auto-reparación que presenta el polímero estudiado.
