Prof. Dr. Carmen Torres-Sanchez

Chair of Multifunctional Materials Manufacturing. Multifunctional Materials and Structures combine properties and attributes in one place, for example thermal and acoustic, structural and bio-responsive. They have the capability to sense and to deliver a controlled response. They find applications in most products and services we interact with daily. Conceptualisation and design, along with their manufacture, is the main activity in my Lab.

COO and Director of Training Programme

Senior Lecturer in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

Lecturer (i.e. associate or tenured professor) in Mechanical Engineering at the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences. I will continue my research work on functionally engineered materials and biomimetics; also will set-up company-led student projects and industrial collaborations. I also recover a very favourite side of mine: teaching and mentoring! Let's get to work!

Shadow Coordinator for the PDP programme at DMEM. These projects are run by the department for our students in 4th and 5th year. This unique partnership with UK companies allows students to put into practice their theoretical knowledge on product design, development, engineering management, prototyping and assessment. Past projects by our students have produced solutions that are now in the global market. Contact me for further details, as some of them are sensitive information or patent pending

Research activities (materials, ultrasonication, heterogeneous/smart materials, etc). Dissemination of outcomes and a particular interest at the SMEs/Acad interface where synergistic activities can be created. I continue my teaching job and i also supervise UG projects.

The Scottish Crucible Programme is led by The University Court of the University of St Andrews (Fife, Scotland). Only 30 participants for these series of LABs where innovation in academia¦industry will be enhanced, how research interacts with society will be discussed as well as other discussions with policy makers.
