معرفی
Rajat Chaudhary is a Contract Researcher in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Trento, Italy, specializing in advanced materials processing through additive manufacturing and polymer-derived ceramics. His work bridges engineering applications with materials innovation.
His research focuses on additive manufacturing techniques including material extrusion and vat photopolymerization, with emphasis on silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) ceramics, microstructural evolution during 3D printing, and functional applications in icephobic surfaces and biomedical scaffolds. Key areas include ceramic composite fabrication, discontinuity-engineered anti-icing surfaces, and bone regeneration materials.
Analysis of his 2022-2025 publications reveals a strong trend toward standardizing vat photopolymerization processes, optimizing polymer-derived ceramic routes, and developing ice-adhesion-resistant surfaces. His work demonstrates interdisciplinary collaboration across materials science, mechanical engineering, and biomedical fields, with significant contributions to interlaboratory validation studies and ceramic scaffold design.
Dr. Chaudhary serves as co-supervisor for master's theses in Materials Engineering at the University of Trento, including the 2025 thesis on 3D-printed SiC/SiOC composite ceramics by Jochebed Zyambo. His advisory role focuses on polymer-derived ceramic fabrication and characterization methodologies.
