Uriel is a civil engineer who obtained his degree from the University of Buenos Aires in 2014. In 2019, he pursued a master’s degree at the Sabato Institute (CNEA, Argentina), focusing his master’s thesis on exploring the mechanical properties of bcc superalloys.
His doctoral research follows a similar trajectory, with a strong emphasis on enhancing the creep resistance of these alloys. In addition to his experimental focus, he is committed to developing predictive semi-empirical models, aiming to advance alloy performance.
Furthermore, Uriel has accumulated significant experience in R&D sector, where he actively engaged in projects related to the practical application of materials science and engineering.
In 2023, Uriel contributed to the Materials for Extreme Environments group at the University of Birmingham as a visiting research student.
Project: Mechanical properties of Fe-Al-V-Ti ferritic alloys strengthened by coherent L21 precipitates
Uriel’s PhD research explores the mechanical properties of ferritic bcc superalloys based on Fe-Al-V-Ti, strengthened by coherent L21 precipitation. Operating within elevated service temperatures (600-700ºC), this system is an integral part of the broader landscape of bcc superalloys. It presents promising potential as transformative materials for power plant applications, with a primary focus on reducing CO2 emissions
