About
Lore Van Looy is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing and biomaterials, with a core focus on stereolithographic 3D printing and the design of graded porous materials. Her most impactful work introduces an integrated digital exposure and selective dissolution strategy for fabricating graded porous materials (GPMs) with exceptionally fine pore sizes below 50 micrometers—a breakthrough that overcomes longstanding limitations in traditional fabrication. This innovation enables precise control over gradient porosity, directly addressing critical needs in biomedical implants, sensors, and soft robotics. With over 11 citations on this key 2023 paper alone, Van Looy’s contributions are rapidly gaining recognition for their translational potential. Her research bridges materials science and digital manufacturing, offering scalable solutions for creating complex, functional architectures. Notably, her work stands out for combining high-speed stereolithography with selective dissolution, a novel approach that expands the design space for porous structures. Van Looy’s achievements position her at the forefront of next-generation additive manufacturing, making her a pivotal figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of 3D printing, porous materials, and biomedical engineering.
