Personal profile

Biography

Beatriz Mingo is currently a Senior Lecturer in Materials Science and a Royal Academy of Engineering Fellow at The University of Manchester and Henry Royce Institute. Her research focuses on developing environmentally friendly smart surface treatments for corrosion protection and lifetime extension of light alloys (aluminium and magnesium) for weight-sensitive applications. She multi-functionalizes ceramic-based coatings with excellent wear performance by incorporating encapsulated corrosion inhibitors capable of providing corrosion protection on demand. She is also interested in biomaterials, specifically in designing multifunctional biocompatible coatings for titanium- and magnesium-based implants.

After completing her PhD at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain, 2016), she obtained a Humboldt Research Fellowship for postdoctoral researchers (Germany, 2017) and the year after, a Presidential Fellowship at The University of Manchester. Her work has recently been recognised with the award of the 2022 RAEng Young Engineer of the Year, The University of Manchester Distinguished Achievement Medal – Researcher of the Year 2022 and the UCM Alumni Award, 2022.
