Enrique is Associate Professor in Materials Science and Engineering. Before joining UCL, he obtained a RAEng Research Fellowship at Cambridge University in 2017, where he established a large research group on Material Simulation and Advanced Manufacturing. He was a Research Associate between 2014 and 2016 also at Cambridge. Enrique obtained his PhD in Materials Science from Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) in 2013 and he has two degrees, one in Mathematics by the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and another in Mechanical Engineering by the Panamerican University (Mexico). 
 
Enrique has published over 60 peer-reviewed papers concerning different aspects of the process-microstructure-property paradigm in advanced materials. He was awarded the “2019 Metals Young Investigator Award” in recognition for his outstanding contribution to research in Metals. He has been invited as Keynote speaker at several top international conferences in Materials and Deformation, as well as presenting at more than 15 international conferences in the field. 
 
Enrique is the principal supervisor of several post-docs, PhDs and Masters students. The build of his large team has been due to his early success in attracting funding as principal investigator from UK research councils and through multiple collaborations with industry.
