Dr. Angel José Marzocca received his PhD in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires. He is a full professor at the Physics Department, Faculty of Exact and Natural Science at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. He has extensive experience in the physical properties of polymers and composite materials, particularly in elastomers and elastomer blends. Additionally, he has worked in industry for over 40 years, attaining the position of R&D Manager at Fate SAICI, Argentina's largest tire manufacturer. Dr. Marzocca has over 100 peer-reviewed publications and has supervised numerous MS theses and PhD dissertations.
Dr. Marcela Angela Mansilla received her PhD in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) in 2012. She is a researcher from the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET)—Argentina in the National Institute of Industrial Technology (INTI). She also teaches mathematics in the first courses at the University of Buenos Aires. She began researching vulcanized rubber compounds, focusing on how final properties vary depending on the manufacturing process and crosslinking components. She worked on this topic for over a decade in academia (2005–2017). Then, once at INTI (2017–present), she continued studying rubber compounds in an interdisciplinary group. In this manner, she started working on developing sustainable composite materials like particleboards based on bioadhesives and revaluing agroindustrial scrap. Moreover, she has been researching composite materials with epoxy resin as a matrix. Dr. Mansilla has 20+ peer-reviewed publications. She has supervised one PhD thesis (finished) and is currently supervising two others.
Dr. Maria Pia Beccar Varela received her PhD in Mathematics from New Mexico State University in 2011. She also holds MS degrees in Mathematics, Physics and Statistics. She is a Professor of Instruction in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Texas at El Paso. Her research interests include Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Differential Equations, Stochastic Differential Equations and Machine Learning. Dr. Beccar Varela has 40+ peer-reviewed publications, and her paper "Analytic Methods for Solving Higher Order Ordinary Differential Equations", Mathematics, Vol 7, Issue 9, 826, (2019), has more than 10,000 readings, and the impact of the paper grows weekly; the Research Interest Score is higher than 84% of research items on ResearchGate.
Dr. Maria Cristina Mariani received her PhD in Mathematics from the University of Buenos Aires. She is an Endowed Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Texas at El Paso. Her work concentrates on Stochastic Analysis and Machine Learning techniques with applications to Big Data and complex data sets arising in Public Health, Geophysics, Physics and Finance. Dr. Mariani has a special interest in applications to other disciplines and interdisciplinary connections since she believes that such work is fundamental to the progress of science. Dr. Mariani has 170+ peer-reviewed publications and she has supervised numerous MS theses and PhD dissertations.
