Prof. Juan Pou (Ind.Eng., MSc., Ph.D.) holds a professor chair of Applied Physics at the University of Vigo (Spain). He was director of the Research Center for Advanced Industrial Technologies and Processes (2009-2011), and dean of the Faculty of Engineering (2011-2016) at the University of Vigo. He has extensive experience (more than 30 years) in different laser-assisted processes such as LCVD, PLD, laser cladding, cutting, micro/nano fabrication, etc. His current research deals with the additive manufacturing for biomedical applications, developing laser surface treatments for improving implants performance, or laser spinning of bioglass nanowires for bone recovery. Prof. Pou did research stays in the National Physical Laboratory (UK), Fraunhofer-Institut für Lasertechnik (Germany), and Rutgers University (USA). He has been also Invited Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University in New York (USA). He is author of 150+ peer-reviewed journal articles, chapter books and patents. In addition, he has participated in more than 50 R&D projects for European Union, Spanish Government, and companies in the field of laser technology. He is the member of various journal’s editorial boards and serves in the scientific committee of many international conferences. Dr. Antonio Riveiro is lecturer in the Department of Materials Engineering, Applied Mechanics and Construction (School of Engineering) at University of Vigo (Spain), where he teaches courses on solid mechanics, and laser processing. He received his PhD in Applied Physics (2009) from the University of Vigo, and did postdoctoral stays at University of Manchester (School of Materials), Imperial College London (Department of Materials) and University of Minho (3B's Research Group in Biomaterials, Biodegradables and Biomimetics). He specializes in laser materials processing, focusing on the application of laser processes for biomedical applications.
