Miriam Lorenzo Bañuelos

Miriam Lorenzo Bañuelos is an Associate Professor at the University of Burgos, holding the position of Titular de Universidad within the Higher Polytechnic School's Department of Electromechanical Engineering. Her academic work centers on structural integrity research in mechanical engineering contexts.

Education:

• PhD from University of Burgos (2015) in the PhD program 'Engineering and Industrial, Computing and Civil Technologies'. Thesis: 'Evaluation and application of the miniature creep test (SPCT) for the determination of creep properties in the magnesium alloy AZ31B', supervised by Dr. Jesús Manuel Alegre Calderón and Dr. Isidoro Iván Cuesta Segura.

Research Interests:

Her expertise spans Structural Integrity, Mechanical Engineering, and Materials Science with specialized focus on Creep Testing methodologies and Magnesium Alloys. As a core member of the GIE Structural integrity research group, she investigates material behavior under stress and high-temperature conditions, particularly developing miniature testing protocols for lightweight alloys. Her work bridges theoretical mechanics with industrial applications requiring durable structural components.

Labs and Teams:

Dr. Lorenzo Bañuelos actively contributes to the GIE Structural integrity research group at the University of Burgos, which specializes in failure analysis, non-destructive testing, and lifespan prediction of engineered materials under operational stresses.
