Enrique Martinez Saez joined Clemson University in 2020 with a joint appointment in the Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering departments. He earned a BS in 2000, a MS in 2003, and received a Ph.D. in 2008 from the Polytechnic University of Madrid.
Enrique spent about 3 years at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory working on his Ph.D. research. After his dissertation, he moved to the CEA-Saclay, near Paris, as a postdoc where he spent 1 year. He moved back to Spain where he joined the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies of Materials (IMDEA) as a Junior Researcher. In 2010 he moved to Los Alamos National Laboratory where he worked until he joined Clemson University.
Enrique’s research interests lie in the study of the microstructural evolution of materials under extreme conditions of irradiation, temperature, and deformation and its relation to the macroscopic system response. The design of advanced materials is crucial in the quest for cleaner, more efficient energy sources. Theoretical developments along with modeling and simulation strategies, which he devotes his research to, have become paramount in this quest, to guide and interpret experimental approaches.
