Young Ceramics Networks
YCN representative - Morocco
Meryem MOUNAJ
YCN representative for the Moroccan Ceramic Society
Ceramic Materials and Mathematics Laboratory in Maubeuge, France
I am Meryem MOUNAJ, a PhD student working in the field of additive manufacturing at CERAMATHS: Ceramic Materials and Mathematics Laboratory in Maubeuge, France. The primary goal of this study is to develop an innovative manufacturing process for porous ceramic catalyst supports, including alumina and zirconia, intended for use in the conversion of bio-sourced molecules. In this investigation, I utilize additive manufacturing, specifically the stereolithography (SLA) technique, to produce objects with controlled geometry and optimal microstructure in terms of density, porosity, and specific surface area.
I hold a Master's degree in Chemical/Chemistry of Inorganic Materials from the Technical University of Le Mans, France (2022), and a Bachelor's degree in Materials Chemistry Science from the Semlalia Faculty of Sciences of Marrakech, Morocco (2019). Today, being honoured to represent YCN in Morocco, I hope to expand the Moroccan network and I express my availability for any scientific contact.
