Summary
Nicolas Somers is a materials scientist and postdoctoral researcher with a decade of experience specializing in additive manufacturing of ceramics for biomedical and industrial applications. He holds a PhD in Materials Science and built his expertise developing doped calcium phosphate powders and robocasting inks for bone and dental scaffolds during an MSCA-funded doctoral project. His postdoctoral work at Georgia Tech focused on novel low-temperature, single-step AM chemistries for ceramics, and he now leads research on producing recycled-metal powders for AM at GREEnMat (ULiège). Nicolas uniquely combines academic rigor with industry-facing experience from early collaborations with Cerhum and cross-border research visits, giving him both practical and translational insight. He is skilled in powder synthesis, stereolithography and robocasting formulation, and has repeatedly worked at the interface of materials chemistry and scalable manufacturing. Colleagues note his ability to move concepts from lab-scale synthesis to application-focused processing, particularly in sustainable and biomedical contexts.
