• Led materials and process development within an industry-funded R&D project, in collaboration with an ETH Zurich research team, covering formulation, processing, characterization and validation of ceramic/metal nanocomposites. • Developed metal-ceramic nanosuspensions and optimized casting, drying and debinding routes to improve green-body integrity, reduce defects and increase process reproducibility. • Developed rapid and ultrafast sintering routes to consolidate nanocomposites while limiting microstruc

• Designed, developed and commissioned experimental benches for thermo-mechanical characterization of carbon-fibre-reinforced ceramic matrix composites at temperatures up to 1000 °C. • Performed tensile and flexural testing and analyzed in-situ strain-field evolution using 2D/3D digital image correlation (DIC), supporting interpretation of high-temperature material behaviour. • Worked across mechanical fixtures, instrumentation, test preparation, troubleshooting and data analysis in a multidisciplinary appl

• Developed and optimized Electrical Resistance Flash Sintering (ERFS), a high-speed electrically assisted process for conductive ceramics, particularly binderless tungsten carbide (WC), integrating process design, electrical/thermal control and materials characterization. • Demonstrated and mechanistically explained flash-sintering activation in highly conductive ceramics, extending the process beyond conventional low-conductivity systems; achieved approximately 95% WC densification in less than 10 seconds

Study the effect the ultrafast electrical sintering on binderless tungsten carbide products: -TEM and XRD characterization of lattice defects, microstrain and residual stresses -Micropillar compression test to evaluate the small scale plasticity
