Synopsis

Luís Filipe Martins Menezes is “Professor Catedrático” at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra (FCTUC). From 2013 to 2019 he was vice rector of the University of Coimbra. From 2005 and 2013 was vice-Dean of FCTUC and was till 2010 coordinator of the research unit “Centro de Engenharia Mecânica da Universidade de Coimbra” (CEMUC) (80 PhD permanent researchers). After the conclusion of its PhD, in 1995, he builds a research team in the field of the numerical simulation and computational mechanics, which allow developing at CEMUC a computational mechanics lab. This research group participate in several research networks, national and international, related to the computational mechanics applied to mechanical technology, namely to the mechanical modeling and numerical simulation of sheet metal forming. The research interest are related to the physics and mechanics of large deformation processes, computational mechanics, mechanical modeling and numerical simulation, algorithms and programming, optimization, identification and calibration of constitutive models. Up to now he was the scientific responsible of several post-doctoral programs at CEMUC and 10 PhD Thesis. In the last 15 years he was scientific Principal Investigator at CEMUC of 12 research projects with overall financial costs of around 4 000 000 Euros, all in the computational mechanics field. He is (or was) part of the research team of around 20 other research projects. He is author or co-author of around 250 publications (chapters of books, papers in international journals, conferences) in subjects related with its research activities. He is author or co-author of several codes for the numerical simulation of technological processes. In 1999 he was awarded with the European ESAFORM Scientific Prize, by the European Scientific Association for Material Forming. In 2007, its team, with the company Creative Tech, have won the prize “Concurso Nacional de Inovação BES”, in the sector of Industrial processes, with the project “d-form”.
