Background

About Ignacio Peralta

I am a researcher and engineer with a multidisciplinary background in computational modeling, numerical optimization, and materials design. My work bridges several domains—from fluid dynamics and metamaterials to energy-efficient building materials and Li-ion battery manufacturing—guided by a strong focus on using mathematical and computational tools to address complex physical problems. During my academic path, I developed optimization methods for the design of thermal and mechanical metamaterials, including cloaking and heat flux manipulation devices. I later applied similar methodologies to the design of composite cement-based materials for building envelopes, integrating thermal energy storage capabilities. Currently, I work in the simulation of Li-ion battery manufacturing processes, with a focus on multiscale mechanical modeling and nonlinear structural behavior. My interests lie at the intersection of mechanics, materials science, and computational methods, with a strong motivation toward research-driven innovation.
