Luis A. Barrales-Mora, a native of Mexico City is currently an adjunct associate professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology campus Lorraine. He received with distinction a Bachelor of Engineering in Aeronautics in 2001 and a Master of Science in Metallurgy in 2003 from the National Polytechnic Institute, Mexico. In 2003, he was awarded with a grant for doctoral studies from the German Academic Exchange Service. In 2008, he received his Ph.D. (magna cum laude) in Materials Science from the RWTH-Aachen University. He held a postdoctoral position at the Institute of Physical Metallurgy and Metal Physics until 2010, when he was promoted to lecturer and research group leader and from 2015-2016 he was appointed as the interim director of the institute. Luis’ research focuses on modelling and simulation of microstructure evolution in metals. He has made contributions to the field of grain growth, front-tracking methods for microstructure simulation and grain boundaries.
Máté Szűcs is a
postdoctoral researcher in the Georgia Institute of Technology Europe campus,
working on material characterization and severe plastic deformation technique
of high entropy alloys. He holds PhD degree in material science and engineering
at University of Miskolc in 2017. He specialised in physical- and numerical
simulation of metal forming. With 11 years of experience in academia, Máté has
published several papers on modeling and experiments in metalforming. Apart
from academia, he has worked as a research engineer on structural integrity and
numerical simulation of elastically and plastically loaded material.
Jialiang Chen is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Institute of Technology Europe campus, working on material design and additive manufacturing. In 2017, he got his first master’s degree from Shanghai Maritime University with research work on mathematical modeling of crane rail optimization. After graduation, he carried out engineering research on developing semiconductor device in industry. From 2019 to 2021, he studied at Linkoping University with research on additive manufacturing of nickel-based superalloys. He started his Ph.D. in 2022 at Georgia Tech Europe campus with a grant from Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. The main research is on crystal plasticity modeling of AM metallic materials and statistically based P-S-P linkage of AM materials.
Ashutosh Singh is a Ph.D. student at the University of Lorraine, Metz Campus, where his research centers on microstructure modeling in additive manufacturing. He earned his master’s degree in mechanical engineering with a specialization in Additive Manufacturing from Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 2019. In 2022, Ashutosh began his Ph.D. at the University of Lorraine as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Fellow. He has published research on additive manufacturing processes and brings several years of industrial experience as a Research and Development Engineer in the field of additive manufacturing.
