Throughout my academic and professional career I have contributed on several levels to the development of Engineering both nationally and internationally. I am confident that my work has allowed applied sciences and new method implementation for enginnering to converge.

I have work on showing how numerical methods for modelling and solving real engineering problems is something of great value, from the study of wetlands of international interest to brain models for computer assisted brain surgery.

The biggest academic achievement so far has been to stablish a new technology on a world level to solve the electroencephalography inverse problem, which is to say, the detection of potential generating sources in electroencephalography signals. This was the study I performed during my doctorate program, where I stablished said methodology using a meshless finite element approach, merging anatomical information and temporal lobe epilepsy patient functional information.

My work as a professor and researcher has always been linked to life condition improvement for the people, to the development and growth of our country and the latin american region.

Therefore, I am convinced that scientific research must be rigorous and applied at the same time. Research constitutes a catalyst element of wellbeing and development. As such, the advancement in innovative proposals, in concepts, in appropriate technologies, requires knowledge, commitment and, overall, responsibility inside academic work.

Likewise, I consider that teaching must be always getting feedback from national and international research.

Engineering, in any area, is a living and dynamic concept, grounded both in technique and science, but that must have its output in a practical application always looking to transform the observed reality.

Vladislav Mantič is Professor of Continuum Mechanics at the School of Engineering, University of Seville, where he is currently teaching Solid Mechanics, Elasticity, Fracture Mechanics, Plasticity, Finite and Boundary Element Method. He graduated in Mathematical Engineering from the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University of Prague, in 1984. He received his doctorate in Technical Sciences from the Institute of Computer Science in Prague, Czech Academy of Sciences, for his work on computer implementation of Boundary Element Method in 1993. His research is currently focused on Fracture Mechanics, in particular on its applications to predict damage initiation and propagation in Composites and their joints at different scales; Interface Crack analysis and modelling; stress singularity analysis in anisotropic multimaterial corners; non-classical approaches in Fracture Mechanics as coupled criterion of Finite Fracture Mechanics, Cohesive Zone Models, Linear Elastic-Brittle Interface Model, energetic/variational approaches and Surface Elasticity models. He has published more than 90 articles in peer-reviewed international scientific journals, 8 chapters in international edited books, more than 150 communications to national and international conferences. He recently edited the book: V. Mantič (Ed.), Mathematical Methods and Models in Composites, Imperial College Press, 2014. He currently coordinates the Doctorate Program for Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Organization at the University of Seville.
