Camille Zoude
YCN representative for Belgium
Scientific researcher at the Belgian Ceramic Research Centre in Mons, Belgium
My academic background is in materials science, which I studied at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon in France. During my studies, I had the opportunity to work with a wide range of materials—ceramics, metals, polymers, and composites—essentially anything that can be engineered, shaped, or occasionally broken in the name of science.
It was during my final-year research project at the MatéIS Laboratory in Lyon that things truly clicked. I had the chance to work with an inspiring team of researchers who not only shared their passion for materials science but also encouraged me to see a PhD as an exciting scientific adventure. Although it was incredibly challenging, I have to admit they were right. I therefore pursued my PhD at the same laboratory, focusing on the development of porous geopolymers for energy storage applications.
After completing it, I moved to Belgium to join the Belgian Ceramic Research Centre in Mons, where I now work in the refractory materials team as a scientist. I am particularly interested in formulation challenges and in projects aimed at valorizing underused resources or materials traditionally considered waste. I always enjoy exchanging ideas with fellow researchers and being part of a community passionate about ceramics.
I look forward to meeting you!

Turning Waste into Raw Materials for the Ceramic Industry.
Waste materials were once seen as a burden but are increasingly being redefined as valuable resources for ceramic production. Through advances in materials engineering, waste can be used as secondary raw materials in the ceramic industry. This shift enables more circular and resource-efficient ceramic manufacturing systems.

Implementing 3D-Printed Technical Ceramics in Regulated Medical Fields.
Bringing a new manufacturing technology into medicine requires far more than producing an impressive component. In highly regulated fields, innovation must be translated into repeatable processes, documented quality, reliable materials and, ultimately, evidence of clinical value. Lithoz has spent more than a decade building this bridge for Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM).
