Jose Manuel Garcia-Aznar was born in Zaragoza, Spain in 1970. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in industrial engineering from the University of Zaragoza, Spain in 1995, and his Ph.D. degree in Computational Mechanics from the University of Zaragoza, Spain in 1999. Since 2008, he has been a full professor of Structural Mechanics with the Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Zaragoza, Spain. In these years, he has been visiting a researcher at Keele University (2001), KU Leuven (2012), Cambridge University (2015), NUI Galway (2017), and the University of Oxford (2019). In 2004, he was elected as Council Member of the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) (2004-2012), and finally as Vice President (2008- 2012). He has published over 160 peer-reviewed papers and 20 book chapters. His research interests focus on computational modelling of hard tissues mechanics, mechanobiology of skeletal tissue regeneration and tissue engineering, and tissue growth and development and cell mechanics. Most recently, his research work has also focused on the combination of computational models and microfluidics-based experiments in order to investigate the mechanisms that regulate tumor growth and metastasis.
