Curriculum Vitae

NUNO MANUEL FERNANDES ALVES

Nuno Alves is Coordinator Professor on Mechanical Engineering - Biomechanics at the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (PIL) and was Director of the Centre for Rapid and Sustainable Product Development (CDRSP) at the same Institute (2014-2022), which was rated with the maximum classification of Excellent (15/15) in the last scientific evaluation carried out by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). Nuno Alves is dedicated to the transformation of the manufacturing industry through the development and implementation of novel Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology, also mentioned as three/four-dimensional (3D/4D) printing. He received a first degree, a MSc and a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, all from IST at University of Lisbon. He was Course Coordinator of the Mechanical Engineering Programme at the School of Technology and Management of the PIL and Coordinator of the Socrates/Erasmus Programme for Mechanical Engineering at the same Institute. Nuno Alves is/was supervisor/co-supervisor of 36 theses (MSc (24) and PhD (12)) and he designed and led a Bachelor (Licenciatura) programme on Mechanical Engineering (2006-2009) according to the European Union rules (Bologna process), and he designed two Master programmes, one in Product Design Engineering together with Prof. Paulo Barártolo (2007/08), and other in Engineering for Direct Digital Manufacturing (2017/18). He has acted as a MSc and PhD Examiner of 27 occasions (6 PhD and 21 MSc) in Portugal, Spain and Italy. Nuno Alves has co-edited 8 books, authored and co-authored more than 150 papers published in books, international journals, international conferences and 4 patents. He received 7 awards: 3 prizes in scientific productivity (from PIL), 2 best papers, 1 best teaching award in Mechanical engineering (PIL - from Academic Association), and a grant for PhD studies. He is experienced at multidisciplinary research and external collaborations, comprising European Union and bilateral projects, international conferences (chairman, organising/scientific committees, and invited lectures), peer-reviewed journal papers. He has been act as a reviewer for Portuguese National Innovation Agency, FCT, South Africa National Research Foundation, Banco Espirito Santo Innovation programme. He is Co-chair of the International Conference on Advanced Research in Sustainable and Intelligent Manufacturing (RESIM), International Conference on Direct Digital Manufacturing and Polymers (ICDDMAP) and Symposium on Computational Tools for Direct Digital Manufacturing (CT4DDM). He is a reviewer for several High Impact Factor Journals (21) and several International Conferences. Nuno Alves is involved in several research projects on the fields of the AM/3D-4D Printing, Bio-Manufacturing and Biomaterials, 3D Digitalisation and Plastic Injection Moulding. He was the Principal Investigator (PI) of the Scientific Infrastructure - Portuguese Additive Manufacturing Initiative (PAMI), funded by FCT and EU/PT2020 through Centro2020. He is/was also engaged as PI/Co-PI in 10 more research projects funded by FCT/PT2020/Industry and 19 as Research Member. His research interests are based on the development and exploitation of novel direct digital manufacturing systems, contributing for the new paradigm of the industry 4.0 (as recently named new industrial and societal revolution), mainly based on AM/3D-4D Printing techniques, including computer-aided modelling and fabrication of complex multi-material 3D and 4D structures (with spatio-temporal varying properties) for both industrial and biomedical applications; Biomimetics and bioinspiration (learn from nature); Tissue engineering; Computer vision and photogrammetry.
