Mr José Luis Velázquez De La Hoz
PhD Student

Summary

Mr. José Luis Velázquez de la Hoz works full-time in the aeronautical industry as a Repair Design Engineer. He is also a doctoral researcher at the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department. He holds an MSc in Engineering from Brunel University London. He is an International Welding Engineer and International Welding Inspector at the Comprehensive Level by the Deutscher Verband für Schweißen und verwandte Verfahren, DVS, in Germany. He is a UK Engineering Council Chartered Engineer and a member of TWI.

His research deals with the digitization of welding processes, particularly the in-process quality monitoring of laser beam micro welds. A pivotal aspect of his research involves the advanced multiscale modeling of micro-laser welding. This specialized joining technique is significant in high-value manufacturing sectors such as e-mobility, automotive, or aerospace. Unlike conventional methods, micro laser welding is characterized by the prevalence of viscous forces over inertial ones. Driven by the practical implications of his research, additionally examined topics are Digital Manufacturing, including Digital Twins and Cyber-Physical Manufacturing Systems, and vertical and horizontal integration of welding processes and welding business ecosystems.
