Eva Vaamonde

Eva holds a Bachelor degree in Physics from the University of Santiago de Compostela and an Engineering Degree on Material Sciences from the University of Salamanca. Eva is actually working as Senior Researcher at AIMEN Technology Center in the field of laser process manufacturing, especially laser beam welding and additive manufacturing. Eva holds more than 14 years of expertise in laser material processing and weld joints characterization of metallic materials (steel, aluminium, nickel and titanium alloys). She has been involved in different R&D activities related to high power laser welding processes and characterization of welded joints for automotive, aeronautics and shipbuilding applications. Main R&D European Projects in which she is being involved are: MODULASE (Development and Pilot Line Validation of a Modular re-configurable Laser Process Head, CUSTODIAN(Customized photonic devices for defectless laser based manufacturing), OPTOSTEEL(Optimizing the toughness of high strength steel weld metal) and ADDIFLAP (Additive Manufacturing of Flap Tracks based on Laser W-DED process). She has also contributed to several publications in the field of laser material processing, mainly laser beam welding, laser cutting, drilling, additive manufacturing and laser process control and monitoring.
