Upcoming Residency at IAS-UM6P:

During her residency at the IAS, Hanane will work on integrating 3D printing to optimize key components essential for the energy transition. Her research focuses on leveraging sustainable materials and advanced additive manufacturing techniques to develop efficient and environmentally friendly energy solutions. By designing and prototyping customized components, she aims to enhance the performance and sustainability of existing energy systems while reducing their carbon footprint. Through extensive material research and testing, she will identify the best 3D printing practices to ensure durability and efficiency in real-world applications.

Beyond the technical innovations, Hanane’s project will also explore the economic and environmental impacts of widespread 3D printing adoption in the energy sector. By conducting life cycle analyses and cost assessments, she aims to demonstrate the feasibility and long-term benefits of these additive manufacturing solutions. Collaborating with industry experts, she will ensure the practical integration of her work into existing energy infrastructures, contributing to a more sustainable and profitable energy future.
