About
Dr. Leonor Neto is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing and materials engineering, whose work bridges the critical gap between additive manufacturing and post-processing surface enhancement. Her primary research focuses on the mechanical behavior of metallic alloys, particularly titanium alloys, and the development of innovative techniques to improve their performance for aerospace and biomedical applications. Dr. Neto’s most cited paper, “Mechanical Properties Enhancement of Additive Manufactured Ti-6Al-4V by Machine Hammer Peening” (2019, 40 citations), represents a landmark contribution. In this study, she demonstrated that machine hammer peening can significantly increase the fatigue life and surface hardness of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V, addressing one of the key limitations of 3D-printed metal components. This work has been widely recognized for its practical implications, offering a scalable solution to improve the reliability of critical parts. Dr. Neto’s research is characterized by its rigorous experimental methodology and direct industrial relevance, making her a respected voice in the field. Her ongoing investigations continue to explore the interplay between process parameters and material properties, solidifying her reputation as a pioneer in the post-processing of advanced alloys.
