Pedro Miranda was born in Castuera, Badajoz (Spain). He studied Physics at the University of Extremadura (Spain) and received his PhD at the same university in 2003. He is currently Full Professor of Biomaterials and Mechanical Properties of Materials, and member of the Materials Science research group GEMA in the Department of Mechanical, Energy and Materials Engineering of the Industrial Engineering School at Universidad de Extremadura. As of 2025 Prof. Miranda is author of +70 articles (+3300 citations, +40 citations/paper, h-index 33; source: Scopus) and more than 100 contributions to national and international scientific meetings. He has participated in 18 research projects (11 as principal investigator, PI), including 4 EU-funded international projects. He has supervised 7 PhD Theses, 13 Master Theses and 36 BSc Final Projects, as well as the work of 3 postdocs. His main research topics are: • Development and optimization of customized scaffolds from bioactive ceramics and glasses by additive manufacturing (robocasting/DIW and DLP). • Development of hybrid biomaterials produced by impregnation/coating of bioceramic structures with biopolymers. • Mechanical characterization optimization of multilayered systems for dental applications. • Numerical simulations (FEM, CFD). • Development of multisegmented composites for protective applications. • Additive manufacturing of ultra-high temperature ceramics for thermal shields and energy related applications.
