About
Hector Marin-Reyes is a multidisciplinary engineer and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, advanced manufacturing, and high-stakes industrial environments. His primary research areas span intelligent robotic systems, aerospace remanufacturing, nuclear robotics, and Industry 4.0 technologies, with a particular focus on deploying automation in environments where human intervention is dangerous or impractical. Marin-Reyes has made notable contributions to the aerospace repair and overhaul sector, developing intelligent robotic solutions for the remanufacturing of jet engine compressor blades through a collaboration between the University of Sheffield and VBC Instrument Engineering Ltd — work that has garnered over 33 citations and represents a landmark step in automated high-value component restoration. His research into transferring human engineering skills to adaptive robotic additive manufacturing further advances this mission. Equally significant is his work in nuclear and radiation environments, including usability studies for dexterous robotic manipulators at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, radiation tolerance testing of robotic components, and pioneering virtual reality training tools for radiation protection — demonstrating a commitment to worker safety without sacrificing operational effectiveness. With contributions spanning particle physics instrumentation to intelligent manufacturing cells, Marin-Reyes represents a uniquely versatile engineering research profile valued across industry and academia alike.
