Sergio Horta Muñoz is a professor and researcher in the field of Continuum Mechanics and Structural Theory. His teaching focuses on subjects such as Solid Mechanics and Strength of Materials within engineering degree programs. His research is centered on the mechanical characterization of composite materials and structures, with a particular interest in multiscale modeling, the study of damage and fracture mechanisms, and the development of advanced numerical methodologies, including extended finite element methods (XFEM) and microscale homogenization models.
