Research Gate Profile
Dr. Carlos Capdevila earned his Ph.D. in Materials Science at Complutense University of Madrid in 1999. Actual position as Research Scientist at the Physical Metallurgy Department and Deputy Director for Science of the Spanish National Center for Metallurgical Research (CENIM), one of the research institutes of the Spanish National Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). Previously, he was Research Associate in the Phase Transformation Research Group leaded by Prof. Bhadeshia at the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy of the University of Cambridge-UK. His research topics include phase transformations in steels, characterisation of the microstructure and optimisation of the mechanical properties of steels and iron-based alloys, thermodynamics and kinetics modelling of isothermal and anisothermal phase transformations in steels, and design of steels for industrial applications with high requirements. He has been PI in 6 international projects and 14 national projects. He has supervised 5 PhDs and 14 MPhils. He has published more than 160 papers included in the Science Citation Report, with an h-index of 30 according Scopus.
