Arturo Rubio Ruiz
About me
I am a researcher in computational mechanics, materials science and simulation-driven engineering. My work combines finite element modelling, experimental data, inverse methods and computational optimization to predict material degradation and component lifetime. My current research extends this work toward AI-assisted and sustainability-driven engineering design.
Fields of expertise
Finite element modelling, fatigue and damage mechanics, constitutive modelling, inverse methods, structural durability, CAE automation, surrogate modelling and engineering design optimization.
Mission statement
My research aims to develop predictive and automated engineering methods that integrate component lifetime, performance and sustainability during design. A central goal is to combine physics-based simulation with AI-assisted workflows while retaining deterministic engineering analysis and human oversight.
