Conference 1
Friction Stir Welding and Processing of Aluminum Alloys: Recent Advances and Industrial Applications
Dr. Eng. Hernan Svoboda
Mechanical engineer from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), doctor from the UBA in the engineering field, and Independent Researcher at CONICET. In the last 20 years he has developed his activity as a researcher in the field of Metallic Materials Processing, especially in relation to Welding Technology, addressing issues related to the study of the relationships between processes, structure and properties. He has presented and published more than 280 papers in national and international conferences and published more than 60 articles in specialized Journals. At the same time, he has developed a strong interaction with the industry, generating various transfer activities. Currently, he is director of the group of Welding Technology and Mechanical Behavior of Metallic Materials of INTECIN (UBA-CONICET Institute) and Director of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering – UBA. In the context of the COVID-19 health emergency, he is the coordinator of the RespirAr UBA Project.
