International Conference on Martensitic Transformations



Dear Colleagues, 

Thank You for Joining ICOMAT 2025 in Prague


We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants of the International Conference on Martensitic Transformations (ICOMAT 2025), held in Prague from September 7–12, 2025.
We are grateful to all presenters for sharing their research and insights, and to every attendee for contributing to the lively discussions, exchange of ideas, and wonderful atmosphere throughout the week. Your active participation made ICOMAT 2025 a truly memorable and inspiring event.


We look forward to seeing you again at future ICOMAT conferences!

PLENARY SPEAKERS

Prof. Francisca G. Caballero
Prof. Ms. Francisca G. Caballero is Research Professor at the Spanish National Centre for Metals Research (CENIM-CSIC) since 2018. She obtained her Ph.D. in Physics from the Complutense University of Madrid in 1999 for studying solid-solid phase transformations in steels during reheating. From 1997 to 2000, she worked as a research associate at the University of Cambridge in UK on the design of carbide-free bainitic steels. She has held a visiting scientist position at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge-TN-USA since 2004. Additionally, between 2013 and 2014 she has been the Deputy Director of Science at CENIM, and Vice-Rector for Postgraduate Studies and Research at Menendez Pelayo International University between 2014 and 2018. From 2018 to 2021 she has worked for Elsevier Inc as Editor-in-Chief of the Encyclopedia of Materials: Metals and Alloys published in 2021. Prof. Caballero’s current research objective is to understand the relationship among the steel processing, its structure and its mechanical properties. In this regard, she investigates the transformation mechanisms, characterize the structure of the material from the micro to the nano-scale describing the physics and chemistry that govern the processes of transformation of steel and its properties under real conditions of use.
