José is mapping the flows of resources in the UK supply chain and developing a solid-state welding process based on metal powder. He completed his PhD in the Use Less Group in 2019, which was sponsored by Tata Steel UK. In his PhD, José developed a welding rig that reduced the time required to produce solid-state welds with metal powder from hours to minutes and also mapped the global material and energy flows of powder metallurgy. José has a Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Porto and joined Resource Efficiency Collective in 2019.”
