Hector Andres Tinoco received his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the Universidad Autónoma de Manizales (UAM), Manizales-Caldas, Colombia, in 2005 and his M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Computational Mechanics from University of Campinas, Campinas, Brazil, in 2011. In 2023 received his Ph.D. In Advanced materials and Nanosciences from Brno University of Technology located in the Czech Republic. Since 2015, he has been working as a Scientific Director at the Experimental and Computational Mechanics Laboratory (co-founder) at the UAM. Currently, he is a researcher at the Institute of Physics of Materials of the Czech Academy of sciences, which he joined in 2017. He has been a visiting researcher at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain), the University of Southern Denmark (Denmark), the University of Newcastle (Australia), the Central European Institute of Technology (Czech Republic), Friedrich–Alexander University Erlangen–NürnberG (Germany), among others. His research interests include the modelling and simulation of multiphysics systems, bio-structural health monitoring, mechanical vibrations, optimization applied to structural analysis, energy harvesting applications, and the mechanical properties of materials.
