Tiago Santos is a researcher with a PhD in Physics Engineering (2020) from the University of Aveiro. He was affiliated with the Centre for Rapid and Sustainable Product Development (CDRSP, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria) and the research units I3N, CICECO, and TEMA at the University of Aveiro. His work focuses on microwave processing of materials, particularly clay-based ceramics (porcelain and stoneware). He contributed to industrial projects (e.g., Greenwave, CerWave) developing microwave hybrid furnaces for porcelain firing, including laboratory furnace design, industrial kiln optimization, and control systems. His expertise includes numerical simulation and modeling of thermal, fluidic, magnetic, and electrospinning processes, using tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics. He has published 30+ peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and holds three patents. His main research interests are microwave sintering, thermal processing, and the development of innovative manufacturing technologies for advanced materials. Regarding the application of microwave heating technology in materials processing, his interests are currently synchronized with the field of microwave sintering of bioceramics for bone tissue regeneration. Currently, his interests are mainly focused on numerical simulation and modeling of electrospinning processes for scaffolding/biophysical applications.
