Ana Paula da Luz is graduated in Industrial Chemical Engineering from the Faculty of Chemical Engineering of Lorena (2004), earned her Masters in Materials Engineering from the School of Engineering of Lorena (EEL - USP) (2006) and PhD in Science and Materials Engineering from UFSCar (2010). She attended of an internship at the École Nationale Superieure de Ceramique Industrielle - France in 2008, for a period of 6 months, becoming a PhD student at the International Federation for Refractive Research and Education (FIRE). She worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Materials Engineering Department (DEMa - UFSCar) between 2010 and 2013, developing activities in the Materials Microstructure Engineering Group (GEMM) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Victor Carlos Pandolfelli. Later she worked as a researcher at DEMa - UFSCar, developing projects related to the design of refractories for the petrochemical and steel industry. Currently, she is a Assistant Professor at DEMa UFSCar and she is a researcher at the Multidisciplinary Studies Group in Ceramic Engineering (GEMEC). She has received seven international awards: Bernhard Gross Award (2023), Best Biannual Paper of the Journal European Ceramic Society (2019), Alfred Allen Award - USA (2017), ALAFAR Congress - Chile and Colombia (2016 and 2018), Italian Ceramic Technology Award - Italy (2015), Gustav Eirich Award - Germany (2014); and 5 national awards both at the 63, 65-66 and 67 Congresso Brasileiro de Ceramica. She has 1 book written in English and published / edited in Germany by the publisher Goller Verlag (with translation to the farsi and re-edition in Iran) and more than 100 articles published in international and national magazines of high recognition in the area of #8203;#8203;ceramic materials. She works in the area of #8203;#8203;Materials Engineering, in the development and coordination of projects, and her main research efforts are focused on the processing and characterization of ceramic materials, geopolymers and advanced binders, formulations of ceramic materials, additive manufacturing of ceramic materials, refractory ceramics, among others .

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have gained significant attention in recent years due to their ability to produce high-precision ceramic parts with complex geometries, meeting the demands of various industrial applications. However, challenges persist in achieving parts with precise printing and defect-free characteristics. These challenges stem from intrinsic properties and proces…
The growing advancement in the refractory castables technology has led to the development of multifunctional products with optimized packing and, therefore, showing better performance when exposed to mechanical and chemical stresses at high temperatures. However, new challenges were detected by the users of such monolithics, as the drying step of these advanced products became a critical …
Alumina ceramics (Al2O3) are among the most extensively used advanced ceramics across various industries. However, traditional forming methods have struggled to meet the increasing demands for intricate geometries and high-precision manufacturing required for advanced functional applications. Additive manufacturing technologies are gaining significant attention due to their ability to pro…
The fabrication of complex ceramic parts has been facilitated by advances in additive manufacturing techniques, and those based on vat photopolymerization are gaining ground in the field of ceramic materials. In this context, the digital light processing (DLP) method stands out due to its printing speed and resolution. However, the main challenge for the implementation of this technique i…
The continuous development of new technologies has led to a new paradigm in manufacturing: developing adaptive processes that can be customized according to the needs of each user, enabling the manufacture of parts with complex geometries and at a low cost. Traditionally, large-scale ceramic production involves processes such as pressing, casting, turning, and molding, which may be comple…
