Mercedes Pereira Rodríguez

Mercedes Pereira Rodríguez is a faculty member at the University of A Coruña, affiliated with the Department of Naval and Industrial Engineering within the College of Engineering. Her academic work centers on materials science and metallurgical engineering, with a strong emphasis on textile and complex materials.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of material science and textile technology. She specializes in the thermo-mechanical and rheological behavior of materials, particularly in the context of textiles and sustainable fashion. She is an active member of the research group Propiedades térmicas y reológicas de materiales, which conducts advanced studies in thermal analysis and rheology of complex materials.

She teaches multiple courses across degree and master's programs, including Textile Manufacturing Processes, Textile Materials: Yarns and Fibres, and Innovation in the Textile Industry. She also contributes to specialized instruction in the Master's in Complex Materials, delivering courses such as Thermo-Mechanical Properties of Materials and Viscoelasticity of Materials.

While no scientific awards or publications are listed in the available data, her sustained involvement in high-level teaching and research-oriented programs underscores her active academic engagement.

She has not directed any final master's theses or EOG works since 2013, according to the available records. No grants or advisory roles are mentioned in the provided information.

The research group she belongs to suggests collaborative work in material characterization labs focused on thermal and mechanical testing. Though no formal lab name is provided, her involvement implies access to instrumentation for dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and rheometry.
