Advanced manufacturing for the development of materials for energy transition

IN SHORT

Technological and digital innovation are very important drivers in the implementation of a circular economy. In this context, this professional training will focus on describing processes whose methodology has a considerable impact on the acceleration of Materials Science and Engineering. The integrated approach of additive manufacturing, the synthesis and safe integration of nano-objects into devices and cutting edge surface engineering processes will be more specifically studied; the contribution of digital technologies, both for design and development using Artificial Intelligence approaches will also be discussed. Finally, many applications in the low-carbon energy field will be highlighted.

WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?

PHD students, post-docs, engineers or process technicians.

TARGETED SKILLS

• Understand emerging processes such as advanced surface engineering processes, the integrated approach to additive manufacturing and nanofabrication

• Cite examples of process optimization using AI

• Identify the contribution of emerging processes to the recycling, minimization and substitution of critical materials within the framework of a circular economy

PREREQUISITES

Master’s degree in materials science, solid state chemistry or physic.
