Biography
Since December 2023, I have been pursuing a PhD within the LINCE research group at the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT), Politecnico di Torino, Italy. My research focuses on additive manufacturing of 3D-printed structures made from ceramic semiconducting metal oxides (SMOs) using Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology. This work combines structural design, fabrication, and functionalization to create advanced devices for gas sensing applications.
The research involves designing intricate 3D architectures, optimizing DLP printing parameters, and tailoring material properties to achieve enhanced functionality. A key focus is on improving porosity, conductivity, and sensitivity to develop high-performance sensors that address critical needs in environmental monitoring and industrial processes. The integration of advanced ceramics with additive manufacturing techniques enables the production of innovative structures that are both efficient and sustainable.
As part of the LINCE research group, this interdisciplinary project bridges the fields of material science, sensor technology, and cutting-edge manufacturing. By exploring the potential of ceramic SMOs in functional applications, the research contributes to advancing 3D printing technologies and their use in real-world challenges.
The overall goal of this work is to push the boundaries of additive manufacturing and sensor development, providing innovative solutions to pressing environmental and industrial demands while promoting sustainable approaches to technological advancements.
