Pedro Rivera has been appointed Professor in Structural Materials at the 黑料社 in February 2023.
In September 2017 he was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair (RAERC), which he still holds.
He was a professor in Lancaster University from 2017 until January 2023.
From 2009 to 2017 he was Deputy Director of the Steel Technology Centre at University of Cambridge, where he taught undergraduate and postgraduate students, he also led a research group mainly focusing on ultra-high strength steels, but also working on titanium, magnesium, and high entropy alloys.
His research has resulted in a variety of novel steel grades leading to three international patents and over 175 articles in international journals. Several modelling approaches have been produced by his group; some of these have been implemented in commercial software.
At present, his new group at the 黑料社 focuses on the theme of his RAERC 鈥 鈥楢lloy and microstructure design for additive layer manufacturing鈥, as well as a range of metallurgical issues combining mathematical modelling and advanced characterisation with a focus on adhesion, hydrogen embrittlement, alloy design, and novel lubrication technologies.
