Alaa HASSAN

Alaa HASSAN is a Senior Lecturer at ENSGSI (École Nationale Supérieure de Géologie et Sciences de l'Ingénieur) within the INP Group in Nancy, France. Their research focuses on innovative design methodologies, additive manufacturing (particularly 3D printing), decision support systems, and the integration of information systems in industrial processes. They are part of the ERPI laboratory, contributing to projects like bioinspired materials, oil-water separation technologies, and metrology optimization. Hassan holds a PhD in Industrial Engineering (2010), a Master of Research in Mechanics and Applications (2006), and a Mechatronics Engineering degree (2000).

Teaching responsibilities include courses such as Industrial Projects Management, CAD, Design Thinking, and Additive Manufacturing. They lead the development of XR-based educational tools (HELP-XR) and have contributed to frameworks for agile design thinking and customer journey mapping. Responsibilities also include managing industrial projects (AI1) and serving on the ERPI Laboratory Council.

• Research Highlights: 3D printing of superhydrophobic materials, metrology queue optimization, and bioinspired hydrophobic applications.
• Education: PhD (Industrial Engineering, 2010), Master in Mechanics & Design (2006), Mechatronics Engineer (2000).
• Key Projects: ERPI lab collaborations, HELP-XR tool development, and process optimization for additive manufacturing.

Recent publications emphasize material-process interactions in 3D printing, agile design frameworks, and XR pedagogical tools. Hassan's work bridges engineering education and advanced manufacturing technologies, focusing on sustainability and industrial innovation.
