Luis Barrales-Mora is an adjunct associate professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology's Lorraine campus. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics in 2001 and a Master of Science in Metallurgy in 2003 from the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico. In 2008, he completed his Ph.D. in Materials Science at RWTH-Aachen University, graduating magna cum laude. His research involves simulating physical processes and microstructure evolution in metals, focusing on the thermal stability of nanocrystalline materials and the properties of solid-solid interphases. His past research topics include massively parallel materials modeling and the mechanisms of grain boundary migration through atomistic simulations. Additionally, he has studied the effects of heat treatment on high-Mn steels and high entropy alloys and their influence on microstructure and texture. He has also contributed to developing low-loss electrical steels aimed at reducing magnetic losses for electric vehicle applications.
