Biography

Dr. Rodríguez-Castro is a Mechanical Engineer. He completed his postgraduate studies at the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico in Mechanical Engineering. In the last few years he has developed in the area of Surface Engineering in topics of mechanical characterization in small volumes, tribological, evaluation of integrity in layer/substrate systems formed by different processes such as thermochemical, deposition, thermal spraying, etc. He has special interest in the study of fatigue of engineering materials (volumetric and small volumes), fatigue at high temperature, thermal fatigue, fatigue by contact, fretting-fatigue and carbon nanotubes metal matrix composites.
