Prof. Sergio Cicero is a Full Professor of Materials
Science and Metallurgical Engineering at the University of Cantabria (Spain). He
joined the Laboratory of the Materials Science and Engineering Division
(LADICIM) of the UC in 2002, at which time he started work on his PhD Thesis. The
corresponding thesis defense was completed in 2007, obtaining “Sobresaliente
Cum Laude”, the Extraordinary Doctorate Award, the UC Social Council Award in
engineering fields and the European Doctorate Mention. Throughout his
pre-doctoral studies, he developed two international research studies at the
Swinden Technology Centre (UK) and the GKSS Forschungszentrum (Germany). In
2019, he was awarded an Agustin de Betancourt Medal by the Spanish Royal
Academy of Engineering for his “outstanding contributions to the analysis of
fracture and fatigue processes in engineering materials”. He performs research in
Materials Sci & Eng, with particular emphasis on fracture mechanics, fatigue
and structural integrity.
