Organization profile

The fundamental mission of the Research Group on New Materials and Transformation Processes (GIMAT) is the generation of research and technological innovation, as well as the training of human talent in engineering, aimed at solving problems in the field of materials. Its vision focuses on becoming a group recognized nationally and internationally, contributing to raising the scientific and technological level in this area, establishing cooperation networks with various institutions and productive sectors. GIMAT aims to address the lack of a systematic research process in Ecuador that improves existing materials and develops new ones, facing the challenges of technological obsolescence and inefficiency in the use of resources in the local industry. Through its work, it seeks not only to innovate in the development of materials, but also to optimize transformation processes that strengthen the competitiveness of Ecuadorian companies.

Research lines:

  1. New materials and innovation in transformation processes
  2. Characterization of new materials at micro and nano scale
  3. Simulation and modeling of composite materials
  4. Development and characterization of biomaterials and biobased materials
