Dr. Javier Bedmar is an assistant professor and researcher in materials science and metallurgical engineering. He is a graduate in materials engineering and earned his PhD in industrial technologies in 2023 from Rey Juan Carlos University, receiving the distinction of Summa Cum Laude with International Mention. His dissertation, supervised by Professors Belén Torres and Joaquín Rams, focused on the characterization of 316L steel and Ti6Al4V alloy produced by laser powder bed fusion, as well as the fabrication of multimaterials using these metals, a research area he began during a stay at the Technical University of Denmark under the supervision of Dr. Venkata Karthik Nadimpalli. He continues to investigate the topics of his doctoral thesis and aluminum manufacturing through high-pressure die casting while collaborating with the Polytechnic University of Madrid to study the effects of laser treatments on metals produced via additive manufacturing.
