Biografie
Dr. Jorge Martinez Garcia is graduated of Physics at the University of Havana (UH), Cuba. He obtained his PhD in Materials Science at the University of Trento (Unitn) and the synchrotron light source of Trieste (Elettra), Italy, with the thesis, "Dislocation effects in powder diffraction: the X-ray contrast factor of dislocations". This work was awarded as the best PhD in material engineering of Unitn in 2008.
From 2008 to 2012 he extended his research in X-ray crystallography and computed tomography working as a postdoctoral researcher at the laboratories of crystallography of the EPF Lausanne (LCr) and ETH Zurich (LfK) and at the group of Materials Science and Simulations (MSS) of the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). From 2012 to 2019 he worked as senior scientist at the Lucerne and Bern Universities of Applied Sciences extending his expertise in mathematical modelling of heat-mass transfer processes, numerical simulations and imaging processing analysis.
In 2019 he joined the competence centre for Thermal Energy Storage (CC TES) at HSLU working at the LUcerne Ct Imaging laboratory (LuCi) as senior researcher in the field of thermal energy storage. Currently Dr. Martinez Garcia is a lecturer at the CC TES and his research interests focus on the structure-property characterisation of energy materials using X-ray computed tomography, diffraction and scattering methods combined with numerical simulations for the optimisation of thermal energy storage systems.
