3er. Congreso de Investigación en Materiales y Aplicaciones, CIMA 2022

Center for Thermal Spray Research, Stony Brook University – USA

Eugenio Garcia-Granados recibió su grado de Doctor en Ciencia e Ingeniería de Materiales en 2003 por la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, España. Su trabajo experimental, que versaba sobre el estudio del comportamiento frente a la corrosión de materiales cerámicos sometidos a ambientes de combustión, lo realizó en el Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio (ICV) del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) de España. Desde entonces ha disfrutados de distintas becas y contratos postdoctorales en varios centros de investigación, primero en el Centre for Advanced Coating Technologies (CACT) de la Universidad de Toronto (Canadá, 2004-2006) y después, de vuelta en España en el Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio (ICV-CSIC, 2007-2016) donde se especializó en recubrimientos cerámicos producidos por técnicas de proyección térmica para la protección de componentes sometidos a altas temperaturas y ambientes agresivos. En 2017 se incorporó al Center for Thermal Spray Research (CTSR) de la State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY-SBU) donde está contratado como Posdoctoral Associate. Su principal campo de interés engloba el procesamiento y el comportamiento de recubrimientos de silicatos de tierras raras como Barreras Ambientales (Environmental Barrier Coatings, EBCs) para la protección de los componentes cerámicos que están siendo instalados en la ultima generación de motores de turbina. Dr. Garcia ha publicado más de 50 artículos en revistas internacionales y es coinventor de 2 patentes.

Auburn University School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences

Dr. Maria Soledad Peresin got her bachelor in analytical chemistry in 2007, from Universidad Nacional del Litoral (Argentina) with focus on pulp and paper chemistry. In 2011, she obtained her Ph.D. in Forest Biomaterials degree from North Carolina State University (USA). In 2010 she was a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Forest Products Technology, Aalto University (Finland). After finalizing her doctoral dissertation, in 2011 she joined the High-Performance Fibre Products Knowledge Team at VTT, for her post-doctoral studies and where she continued working as a Senior Scientist. She has over ten years of academic experience with strong emphasis on nanocomposite materials, surface chemistry of plant cell wall components and their interactions, including studies of the materials in model surface approach.

She jointed the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, Forest Products Development Center at Auburn University in 2016, and has recently been promoted to the rank of Associate Professor with Tenure.

During her time at Auburn, Dr. Peresin has established a solid multidisciplinary research platform that gathers expertise in the areas of chemistry, pharmacy, materials sciences and engineering, as well as product development, encompassing the needs for stimulating new businesses in food, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medicine sectors, through novel value-added products from biomass (wood, annual crops, agro-forestry, sericulture, etc.).  
The impact of her research is well documented with 38 publications, 6 book chapters, 6 invention disclosure applications and over 100 presentations in national and international forums, including invited talks. Most recently completed the co-editing of a book titled “Lignocellulosics. Renewable Feedstock for (Tailored) Functional Materials and Nanotechnology” (Elsevier, 2020). She is one of the recipients of the NSF CAREER award 2021.

Dr. Peresin is an active member of the Cellulose and Renewable Materials Division of the American Chemical Society and the TAPPI Nano Division, for which she serves as a Co-Chair of the Research Committee. She had organized many meetings and workshops, throughout the US, EU and S. America, including ACS National and Regional Meetings and TAPPI Nano International meetings.
