David Gale Lamuela

David Gale Lamuela serves as a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), holding a permanent Labor Professor position since May 2025 after previously serving as an Assistant Doctor Professor from March 2023. He actively contributes to the Earthquake Engineering: Soil and Structure Dynamics research group, where he has been a member since May 2016.

His research spans Applied Mathematics, Metallurgical Engineering, Architecture, and Materials Science disciplines, with specialized focus on Building and Construction engineering within Civil Engineering contexts. This multidisciplinary profile reflects strong integration of theoretical mathematics with practical structural dynamics, particularly in seismic response analysis of materials and constructions.

As a core member of UPM's Earthquake Engineering research group, he investigates soil-structure interaction phenomena under seismic loads, leveraging expertise in mechanical behavior of materials to advance earthquake-resistant design methodologies for civil infrastructure.
