José Angel Sanchidrián Blanco is a Professor at the Department of Geological and Mining Engineering, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. His research focuses on rock mechanics, blasting technology, and fragmentation modeling. Academic Rank: Professor University: Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Department: Geological and Mining Engineering His work addresses fragmentation-energy fan concepts, discrete fracture networks, and vibration analysis from blasting. Key trends include optimizing powder factors and delays in full-scale blasting, energy efficiency in mining-to-processing chains, and machine learning applications in underground mining. Notable contributions span rock mass structural recognition, blasthole delay cooperation functions, and frequency attenuation modeling via full-field solutions. His studies leverage Swebrec and non-parametric methods for accurate fragment size distributions.
