Biography:

Eva Paz holds a degree in Industrial Engineering and a Master’s degree in Production Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid). She earned her PhD from Comillas Pontifical University in 2017 with a doctoral dissertation entitled Acrylic Bone Cement Reinforced with Carbon-Based Nanomaterials. She is currently a lecturer at ICAI School of Engineering, Comillas Pontifical University, where she teaches courses in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, and Non-Destructive Testing. She also serves as Head of Studies for the Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering. Her research activity is focused on the field of Biomedical Engineering, with particular interest in the development and characterization of advanced materials for biomedical applications. Her research areas include the design and fabrication of scaffolds for bone regeneration, prostheses, and biocompatible and bioactive materials, as well as the mechanical and biomechanical validation of materials and medical devices. In addition, she coordinates the Bioengineering area within the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT) at ICAI. She is the author of numerous scientific publications in high-impact international journals and actively participates in national and international research projects related to biomedical engineering and materials science.
