David Alvarez Gonzalez

David Alvarez Gonzalez serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Engineering, Applied Mechanics and Construction at the School of Aeronautical and Space Engineering, University of Vigo, based on the Ourense campus. He is an active member of the e-materials research group specializing in Electrochemistry and Materials Engineering.

His academic foundation includes a 2017 PhD from the University of Vigo for the thesis Design of new varnishes based on organofunctionalized silanes for the canning industry, supervised by Dr. Antonio Collazo Fernández and Dr. MªCarmen Pérez Pérez. This work established his expertise in advanced material design for industrial applications.

Research focuses on Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering with concentrated efforts in electrochemical materials development, particularly organosilicon-based coatings for food packaging. His work bridges fundamental chemistry with practical engineering solutions for corrosion prevention in the canning industry, emphasizing sustainable material innovation.

Dr. Alvarez Gonzalez oversees thesis supervision and participates in research financing initiatives as evidenced by dedicated sections in his profile, though specific student names and grant details remain undisclosed in the source text. His contributions through the e-materials group advance both academic knowledge and industrial applications in materials engineering.
