Javier LLorca (born February 26, 1960 in Spain) is a Spanish engineer and materials scientist. He is Scientific Director of the Madrid Advanced Studies Institute of Materials (IMDEA Materials Institute) in Madrid, Spain, and Principal Investigator of the Institute's Bio/Chemo/Mechanics of Materials research group[1]. He is also Professor of Materials Science and the Head of the Advanced Structural Materials and Nanomaterials research group at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM).[2]
Education[edit]
LLorca attended the UPM, from which he received an honours degree in civil engineering in 1983 and a doctorate in materials science in 1986.[3]
Career[edit]
Llorca began his academic career after receiving his doctorate from UPM, becoming an associate professor in the university's Department of Materials Science in 1987.[4] From 1989-1990, LLorca was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar in solid mechanics in the Division of Engineering at Brown University.[5] In 1995, he became a full professor at UPM.[6]
In 2007, Llorca founded IMDEA Materials Institute. He served as the institute's director until 2017, at which point he took on the role of scientific director.[7]
As of 2024, his scientific publications related to material sciences have received more than 24,000 citations.[8]
In the field of integrated computational materials engineering, LLorca has been recognised[9] for his work in the systematic application of advanced computational tools and multiscale modelling strategies to establish links between the processing, microstructure and mechanical behaviour of structural materials.[10]
This research activity has impacted several fields, including the development of multiscale modelling strategies to simulate the mechanical behaviour of composites for structural and multifunctional applications,[11] which are considered the foundation of the virtual testing techniques to save time and cost in the certification of composite structures.[12]
In 2015, LLorca was awarded an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council.[13] It was found to be possible to predict the microstructure and mechanical properties of metallic alloys using a cascade of modelling strategies covering different length and time scales.[14]
Honours[edit]
In 2023, LLorca was awarded the Leonardo Torres Quevedo National Prize in Engineering and Architecture by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation[15], before receiving the Morris Cohen Award of The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society in 2024.[16] He was elected to the Academia Europaea (Physics and Engineering section) in 2013[17]. He is a Fellow of the European Mechanics Society[18] and in 2019 was the first Spanish researcher elected Fellow at the Materials Research Society.[19]
