Huyra Araujo
YCN representative from the Brazilian Ceramic Society
Federal Institute of Sao Paulo
My name is Huyra Araujo, and I am an Associate Professor at the Federal Institute of Sao Paulo. Although my background is in Physics, I dedicated my MSc. and Ph.D. studies to Ceramic Science. I have finished my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering in 2016 and since then my research works have been carried out with a special focus on Ceramic Processing and Sintering Phenomena. Besides attending international conferences in the area, I had the experience as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of South Carolina ( 2017-2018).
Although my previous research subjects have been related to solid electrolytes, currently we work with the development of sintering models and experimental modeling approaches based on activation energy, microstructure profile and engineering and processing parameters. The research has been conducted at the Federal Institute of Sao Paulo with wide participation of undergraduate research students from Engineering areas, with up to twenty fellowships in the last years. Additionally, the group has developed an intersectional discussion between ceramic science and diversity in STEM.

Turning Waste into Raw Materials for the Ceramic Industry.
Waste materials were once seen as a burden but are increasingly being redefined as valuable resources for ceramic production. Through advances in materials engineering, waste can be used as secondary raw materials in the ceramic industry. This shift enables more circular and resource-efficient ceramic manufacturing systems.

Implementing 3D-Printed Technical Ceramics in Regulated Medical Fields.
Bringing a new manufacturing technology into medicine requires far more than producing an impressive component. In highly regulated fields, innovation must be translated into repeatable processes, documented quality, reliable materials and, ultimately, evidence of clinical value. Lithoz has spent more than a decade building this bridge for Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM).
