Biography

I am Dr. [Your Full Name], PhD in Chemical, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (2025, cum laude). My research focuses on metallic biomaterials, particularly the corrosion behavior and advanced characterization of novel titanium alloys for biomedical applications. My doctoral thesis, based on five peer-reviewed publications, investigated experimentally designed titanium alloys to improve biocompatibility and reduce the need for secondary surgeries. I am a member of the “Nanomaterials and Corrosion (NanCorr)” research group, working in an international research environment. Since 2022, I have published 21 scientific articles (12 Q1, 8 Q2) and 8 book chapters, with over 150 citations, and presented my work at more than 20 international conferences. I have received several recognitions, including the Best Poster Award (CIMED 2023) and academic excellence awards from ULPGC. Currently, I work as a research technician at the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ULPGC), specializing in materials characterization, mentoring students, and participating in projects such as BioMag. My work aims to advance the development of sustainable metallic biomaterials to improve patient outcomes.
