Do you want to know more about our impact on the worldwide academia?
Prof. Hélder Puga, Tenured Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Minho, Portugal, has recently been appointed to two major international roles, reinforcing the global reach and recognition of our research team.
In a significant career milestone, Prof. Puga has been named a Faculty Member at the Advanced Casting Research Center (ACRC) at the University of California, Irvine (UCI).
The ACRC is widely regarded as a premier world-class consortium that bridges the gap between fundamental research and industrial application. It stands as a beacon of excellence in the fields of solidification processing and materials design, bringing together top-tier researchers and industry leaders to solve complex manufacturing challenges. Joining this elite group places Prof. Puga at the center of one of the most innovative ecosystems for metal casting and metallurgy in the world.
Apart from this distinction, Prof. Puga has also been invited to serve on the Advisory & Board of Review for the International Journal of Metalcasting. Published by Springer, this is a leading peer-reviewed journal in the field, where he will play a crucial role in maintaining scientific standards and shaping the future discourse of metalcasting research.
These appointments are a testament to the high-quality research being produced at the University of Minho and its growing influence on the global stage.
