B.S, M.S, Biomedical Engineering, UPM Madrid

Carlos received his B.S. and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM). Currently, he is a former research associate in the project i-MPLANTS-CM, "printing of metamaterials with shape memory alloys and functional gradients of properties for a new generation of intelligent implants", pursuing his PhD in Mechanical Enginnering in UPM. His key research interests include 3D printing and the exploration of new design strategies for improving the properties of shape memory alloys, and its application in implantable customized cardiovascular implants. As part of his PhD, Carlos joins the TTDD lab as a Visiting Student to explore various applications where 3D printed Nitinol implants can make a significant impact as well as to participate in valve validation tests. Outside of the lab, Carlos enjoys sports and reading.
