Residency at IAS-UM6P:

During her residency at the UM6P Institute for Advanced Studies, Dr. Yaagoubi led the project “Integrating 3D Printing to Optimize Key Components Essential for the Energy Transition.” The project explored how additive manufacturing and advanced materials can contribute to more sustainable and efficient energy and construction systems. Her research focused on developing and testing new materials and fabrication methods—particularly using local resources such as phosphate-based materials—to improve the mechanical performance and environmental sustainability of construction components and energy-related infrastructures.

The residency combined experimental work, modelling, and interdisciplinary collaboration with several UM6P laboratories and departments. It also examined the potential of 3D printing for applications such as renewable-energy devices, construction materials, and flexible manufacturing processes that support sustainable development goals. Through this work, the project aimed to position additive manufacturing as a strategic tool for innovation in the energy transition and in sustainable industrial practices.
