Dr. Andrés Amador García Granada is a Full Professor and GEPI Group Manager in the Department of Industrial Engineering at IQS School of Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bristol (2000) and an Industrial Engineering degree from ETSEIB-UPC (1996). From 2018-2020, he coordinated the Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering and served as Head of the Department of Industrial Engineering starting in 2018. His research interests focus on Computer tools to support CAx engineering , Vibrations and damping linked to fatigue and noise , and High temperature creep and residual stresses . His work spans mechanical engineering, biomedical applications, and advanced manufacturing techniques with particular emphasis on additive manufacturing and computational modeling. Dr. García Granada leads multiple significant research projects including PolyCoarct (design of growing stents for pediatric aortic coarctation), AUXSTENT (stents with combined radial and longitudinal growth properties), and EQUIDENTAL (advanced surface treatments for dental implants). His recent publications demonstrate expertise in biomedical device design, computational modeling, and advanced manufacturing techniques with applications spanning from vascular stents to robotics and photonics. Excellent Presentation Award at ISGMA2017 He actively supervises student research projects and has collaborated with institutions including Harvard-MIT, Hospital del Mar, and PRBB. His research group GEPI (Industrial Products Engineering Group) focuses on three main areas: Additive Manufacturing, Reverse Engineering with object digitization, and Mechanical Characterization of Materials.
