Research Gate Profile
Dr. Carola Celada-Casero holds a PhD in Physics (2015) by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and, recently, she has joined the Materalia research group as Tenured Scientist. During the last years, she worked as Principal Researcher and project leader for Tata Steel R&D, world leader in sustainable steel manufacturing, and, previously, as a postdoctoral researcher at Delft University of Technology, in the Netherlands.
Her research interest is to understand the role of non-equilibrium phases in the microstructure evolution, the metastability and the mechanical performance of advanced high-strength steels with strategic application in the automotive sector to lower CO2 emissions. In her investigations, she combines experimental studies with her experience in the industrial applicability of new processes and modelling metallurgical phenomena by thermodynamic and diffusion-based kinetic calculations.
Since August 2021, Carola also leads the Forum “Energy Transition and Climate Change”, of the Spanish Technological Steel Platform (PLATEA), to tackle the decarbonisation challenge of the Spanish steel industry.
