José Manuel García-Aznar,
Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical and Biological Engineering Research group (M2BE)
José Manuel García-Aznar received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 1999 from University of Zaragoza, where he serves since 2008 as Full Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department. In these years, he has been visiting researcher at Keele University (2001), KU Leuven (2012), Cambridge University (2015) and NUI Galway (2017). In 2004, he was elected as Council Member of the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) (2004-2012), and finally as Vice-President (2008-2012). More recently, in 2012 he was awarded by the ERC with a Starting Grant project that allows him extending his computational expertise to 3D cell cultures in microfluidic devices to understand basic mechanisms of cell migration. He is author of over 120 JCR papers with more than 3300 citations. His research interests focus on the computational modelling of mechanics of hard tissues, mechanobiology of skeletal tissue regeneration and tissue engineering, tissue growth and development and cell mechanics. Most recently his research work has also focused on the combination of computational models and microfluidics-based experiments in order to investigate the mechanisms that regulate cell migration and tissue formation.
