About
Dr. Amal Megdich is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and sustainable energy, with a primary focus on 3D-printed piezoelectric energy harvesters. Her seminal review, "A review on 3D printed piezoelectric energy harvesters: Materials, 3D printing techniques, and applications" (2023), has garnered 43 citations, establishing itself as a foundational resource in the field. In this work, Dr. Megdich systematically maps the landscape of materials—from polymers to ceramics—and additive manufacturing methods that enable the fabrication of devices capable of converting mechanical vibrations into electrical power. Her major contribution lies in synthesizing disparate technical domains, providing a clear roadmap for researchers seeking to miniaturize and customize energy harvesters for applications ranging from wearable electronics to structural health monitoring. By critically analyzing the interplay between printability, piezoelectric performance, and device architecture, she has accelerated the transition from laboratory prototypes to practical, scalable solutions. Dr. Megdich’s work not only highlights the potential of 3D printing to democratize energy harvesting technology but also identifies key challenges—such as material optimization and electrode integration—that define the next generation of research. Her insights continue to guide engineers and scientists in designing more efficient, environmentally friendly power sources for the Internet of Things and beyond.
