Prof Didier Bouvard
University Grenoble Alpes, France
After graduating in civil engineering in Paris, Didier Bouvard prepared a PhD. thesis on the constitutive behavior of geomaterials in Grenoble. Next he stayed as a postdoc at UNAM University in Mexico. Back to Grenoble, he was appointed as a CNRS researcher and started working on powder processing. After a sabbatical year at UC Santa Barbara, he became a professor at Université Grenoble Alpes in 1994. Since then, he has been investigating the sintering of metal and ceramic powders by coupling experiments and simulations in close connection with industrial companies. He is the author of about 250 papers in international journals and proceedings and he advised 28 PhD. students. Didier Bouvard chaired several international meeting as the Sintering 2005 conference and the European Powder Metallurgy conference in 2007. He is a member of the board that co-organizes the Sintering conference series and a member of the European Powder Metallurgy Institute.
Prof José M. Torralba
University Carlos III de Madrid, IMDEA Materials Institute, Spain
Professor of Materials Science and Engineering in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Senior Scientist at IMDEA Materials Institute. Prof. Torralba is Fellow in the two most important Powder Metallurgy associations in the world: FAPMI and FEPMA (first European to be Fellow at the same time in Europe and USA). He has participated in more than 80 International Advisory Committees at International Conferences, in about 35 competitive funded projects (among which five EU-projects and one NSF-USA project) and in several research evaluation panels (including the EU Research Framework Programmes) some of which in Israel and New Zealand. Throughout his career, Prof. Torralba has constantly striven for a holistic approach, being involved in a wide number of academic activities: teaching, research, innovation, university management and management of research programmes and science communication. He also regularly participates in activities related to mentoring, research integrity, new ethics in science and to the promotion of healthy conditions in research labs. He has been an active supervisor of PhD students and has created a good international network of former students in academia and industry. Prof. Torralba also collaborates regularly with two NGOs (supporting a secondary school in Kenya and providing scientific divulgation lectures in jails).
The EPMA would like to express its sincere thanks to the members of the Technical Programme Committee for their support and hard work in structuring the World PM2022 programme and for reviewing the submitted papers.
