Iria Feijoo Vazquez

Iria Feijoo Vazquez serves as a Permanent Teacher (Associate Professor) in the Department of Materials Engineering, Applied Mechanics and Construction at the University of Vigo's School of Industrial Engineering, focusing on advanced materials research for industrial applications.

Her academic credentials include:

• Doctorate from the University of Vigo (2016) with thesis: Improvement of behavior in service by cryogenic treatment of an aluminum alloy used in the aeronautical industry, supervised by Dra. Carmen María Abreu Fernández and Dr. Marta Cabeza Simó.

Her research spans Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, and Electrochemistry with specialized expertise in Aerospace Materials and Cryogenic Treatment of aluminum alloys. As an active member of the e-materials Electrochemistry and Materials Engineering research group, she investigates how cryogenic processes enhance material performance in aeronautical contexts, addressing critical service behavior challenges through experimental metallurgy and electrochemical analysis.

The research group operates within the university's industrial engineering framework, bridging theoretical materials science with practical aerospace engineering solutions to improve alloy durability and safety standards.
