Summary
Félix Bunel is an Ingénieur Fabrication Additive with a PhD in Physics from École Normale Supérieure de Lyon and nine years of research and engineering experience, currently applying his expertise at CEA. He blends deep experimental physics knowledge—rooted in a doctoral thesis on liquid crystals—with hands-on skills in additive manufacturing, machining, electronics and software (Python, C++, LabVIEW). Trained at MIT xPRO in metal additive manufacturing and creator of his own professional-grade 3D printer, he moves fluidly between prototyping, process development and data-driven analysis. His background in high-performance materials research and postdoctoral projects gives him a strong track record of translating lab-scale innovations into robust R&D workflows. Outside the lab he hones teamwork and problem-solving through competitive disc sports and puzzle-driven hobbies, traits that inform his methodical, collaborative approach to engineering challenges.
