About Me
Salomé is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department Design, Production and Management (DPM) in the Faculty of Engineering Technology.
Originally from France, Salomé Sanchez completed an integrated Masters in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Nottingham (UK). During her PhD, she investigated the creep performance of Additively Manufactured Inconel 718 (nickel-based superalloy).
Research
Her research focuses applications of Additive Manufacturing. Current research includes:
- Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) of high resolution Ti-6Al-4V electrodes for Regenerative Fuel cell applications.
- Heat treatment for LPBF Inconel 718.
- Porosimetry methods for lattice structure characterisation.
- Novel LPBF beam shaping to produce high porosity Ti-6Al-4V thin walls.
Salomé is particularly interested in applying Additive Manufacturing in the medical, biomedical, civil engineering, robotics and humanitarian fields.
Education
Salomé is involved in teaching in IDE, ME and UT-VU courses and modules.
She is open to supervising students and has a number of available projects for Master assignments. These can be found on Canvas: Open Master assignments for Design & Manufacturing: Master Track Design & Manufacturing (utwente.nl)
Faculty Council
Salomé is part of the Engineering Technology Faculty Council. Please contact her if you have any feedback or ideas you would like to be mentionned at the council meetings.
