Francisco Medel received his MS in Physics in 1998 as well as his PhD degree in Materials Science in 2005 from University of Zaragoza (Spain). He completed his training in Materials Science as a Post-Doctoral researcher in Drexel University School of Biomedical Engineering Science and Health Systems (Philadelphia, USA). In 2008 he earned a Research Assistant Professor position in Drexel University, and back in Spain, he has held different positions as professor in academia. Currently, he serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Zaragoza (Spain). His areas of expertise include biomaterials, UHMWPE, hip and knee retrievals, mechanical properties, microstructure of polymers and 3D printing, among others. As quality indicators of his research activity, it must be noted that he authored 29 publications indexed in Web of Science, including 17 articles in the first quartile (Q1), 3 book chapters and several Proceedings Papers. He has also made more than 50 contributions to national and international conferences. He has an H-index of 18 and a total number of citations of 904 (Scopus) and also regularly serves as a reviewer of manuscripts for various scientific journals. He is principal investigator of the Biomaterials research group from 2021.
