Laura researches the link between powder properties and processability in metal additive manufacturing technologies. She has been employed at Chalmers University of Technology since 2021. Laura defended her PhD in January 2020 at the University of Twente, the Netherlands, on powder handling for a laser powder bed fusion process. Her work focused on aerospace materials, such as titanium, aluminum and nickel-based alloys due to the close link to NLR (Dutch Aerospace Center). At the end of 2019, she joined the Fraunhofer Project Center, where she worked as project manager of Additive Manufacturing.
