Jesús Cintas

Professor Jesús Cintas serves as Catedrático de Universidad in the Department of Materials and Transport Engineering Science at the University of Seville's School of Engineering. He leads the Advanced Materials Engineering Research Group (TEP-971) and directs multiple national and international research projects focused on powder metallurgy and advanced materials processing.

His research interests center on electrical resistance sintering techniques, mechanical alloying processes, and nanomaterials development, particularly for aluminum-based composites and magnetic materials. Professor Cintas has pioneered medium-frequency electrical resistance sintering (MF-ERS) methods and ammonia gas flow milling techniques for in-situ reinforcement formation.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals strong focus on powder consolidation mechanisms, microstructure-property relationships in sintered materials, and computational modeling of sintering processes. His work bridges fundamental materials science with industrial applications in automotive, energy, and cultural heritage sectors.

Professor Cintas maintains active supervision of graduate students and has directed five PhD theses between 2013-2015. His laboratory infrastructure has been significantly enhanced through multiple competitive grants (EQC, IE) between 2017-2024, establishing state-of-the-art capabilities in advanced microscopy and electrical sintering.

His research group maintains strong industrial collaborations with companies including Atlantic Copper and participates in European research networks. Professor Cintas has developed significant educational resources including textbooks and virtual microscopy tools used in engineering education.
