Fernando Simões, PhD graduate in Mechanical Engineering from the UC (2005), currently serves as Coordinator Professor at the Coimbra Institute of Engineering (ISEC). His doctoral research, focused on cold compaction and hot consolidation techniques, collectively known as Hot Isostatic Pressing. This work earned him recognition from the European Powder Metallurgy Association, in 2006, for the best European doctoral thesis in the field of new materials production by powder metallurgy. He has an extensive publication record in scientific journals and has participated in various R&D projects. He has supervised master’s theses and a PhD related to machining processes. His career spans diverse roles, including consultancy, research & development, and collaboration with academic and industrial entities. He supervised the winning work of the Wildest Part Competition in 2008, sponsored by CNC Software, Inc. (USA). In 2009, he received the “Jaume Blasco” Award from the Associación Espanola de Ingeniería de Proyectos for the best innovation article. Additionally, he was honoured with three scholarships from the Gene Haas Foundation through the National Institute for Metalworking Skills Program (USA), for promoting CNC machining.
