Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanics of Continuous Media and Theory of Structures at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Full Academician of the Young Academy of Spain. Daniel García González is an industrial engineer and holds a Ph.D. from UC3M with an international mention. He carried out a postdoc at the University of Oxford where he studied the mechanical behavior of brain tissues and their functional response. He currently develops his research within the framework of the Talent Attraction program from Comunidad de Madrid and is PI of the ERC StG 4D-BIOMAP project and other national projects. He has started a laboratory that experimentally develops new multifunctional materials, as well as theoretical formulations that combine mechanics with other physics and their application to problems in bioengineering. He has carried out other research stays in numerous prestigious institutions. Among his hobbies, Daniel likes to travel, play sports, read and, recently, play the piano.
