Pedro Emanuel Mateus Figueira Garcia is a Guest Lecturer at the School of Technology and Management (ESTG) of the Polytechnic University of Leiria (IPL) and a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Coimbra. His academic career is marked by excellence, having received the Distinction of Merit from the Portuguese Order of Engineers (2024) for his outstanding performance during his Master’s degree. With a solid foundation in Mechanical Engineering (Bachelor’s degree, with a final project grade of 19 out of 20), he specialized in Engineering for Direct Digital Manufacturing (Master’s degree, final grade of 17 out of 20). His Master’s thesis (graded 18 out of 20) focused on the advanced mechanical characterization of Nylon 12CF (Stratasys) composites processed via MEX. This rigorous research resulted in a publication as first author in the journal Polymers (MDPI, 2025), within the Special Issue: Mechanical Characterization of Polymer Composites. Currently, he is a Research Fellow in the INOV.AM mobilizing project (WP12 MoldPrint.XL), where he develops additive manufacturing solutions for the industrial sector. His multidisciplinary profile includes the completion of standalone curricular units, achieving grades of 18 out of 20 in Automotive Transmission Systems (BSc in Automotive Engineering) and 17 out of 20 in Human Capital Management (BSc in Industrial Engineering and Management). Regarding his pedagogical and knowledge transfer activities, he teaches Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Thermal Engines as a Guest Lecturer. He also represents IPL at major industrial trade fairs such as MOLDPLÁS and EXPOMETAL, promoting technological dissemination to society and the business community.
