Biography:
Dr. Cláudio S. Lopes (PhD Aerospace Engineering, Delft University of Technology, 2009) is senior researcher and head of the group on Design & Simulation of Composite Structures at IMDEA Materials Institute (Madrid, Spain). Of Portuguese nationality, he has careered Aerospace Engineering for more than 20 years in three different European countries (The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain), specializing in Structures, Materials and Computational Mechanics. He is the co-author of over 40 scientific papers and book chapters in international journals. He has participated in 30 research projects and industrial contracts of R&D and technology-transfer nature, many of them as PI and coordinator.
