During the seminar, Prof. Bagherifard shared an engaging overview of both the scientific and managerial sides of ERC projects, along with practical tips for writing strong grant proposals. The event also created a great opportunity to connect with early-career researchers interested in this path, bringing out their curiosity and enthusiasm.

Archès Lab was pleased to participate in the 34th Cold Spray Club Meeting, held in Prague, Czech Republic. The Cold Spray Club is a long-standing international forum that brings together researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to exchange ideas, discuss emerging challenges, and explore the latest advances in cold spray technology. 

We are proud to have contributed to the technical program through two oral presentations:

 Prof. Sara Bagherifard presented our recent work on the Powder customization role in cold-sprayed 2D metal matrix composites, highlighting the results of the Thermodust project on how tailored feedstock design can unlock new opportunities for advanced material systems, with invaluable contribution of our team Fatemeh, Amir, Mario, and colleagues from the University of Twente and Trinity College of Dublin.

 Kiran Tulasagiri Raddi presented research on the composition driven fatigue and fracture behavior in cold-sprayed Al–Fe bimetallic systems, providing insights into the latest results of the #ArcHISep project on the relationship between material architecture and mechanical performance in collaboration with our colleagues at IPP and the Technical University of Prague.

A sincere thank you to the organizers, speakers, and participants for creating an engaging environment for scientific discussion and knowledge exchange.

Prof. Bagherifard’s research in solid-state deposition, particularly cold spray coatings and hybrid additive manufacturing, advances structural and functional coatings for critical sectors such as aerospace, materials engineering, and high-performance manufacturing. Her work spans the development of hierarchical, heterogeneous materials (ArcHIDep), exploration of high-entropy alloys, metal-ceramic composites, and polymer substrates, as well as innovative post-processing methods like shot peening and thermal treatments.

We are proud that her contributions are recognized among international leaders in the field, highlighting the impact of her research in both scientific innovation and industrial application.

This 18 month project aims to innovate the repair and regeneration of mechanical components using Cold Spray (CS) technology, incorporating analytical models and artificial intelligence. This innovation will significantly reduce post-processing, material waste and delivery times in the manufacturing industry, contributing to sustainability and accessibility in repairs through fully automated tools.

In a ceremony at Politecnico di Milano’s Aula Magna, the Italian Association of Women Engineers and Architects (A.I.D.I.A.) presented the Adele Racheli Scholarship. This prestigious award, named after Adele Racheli—a trailblazing engineer and A.I.D.I.A. co-founder—was granted to our team member Roberta Falco.

Adele Racheli, a 1920 graduate in Mechanical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, left an indelible mark on the engineering landscape. In 1957, she co-founded A.I.D.I.A., championing the cause of women in engineering and architecture. Racheli’s forward-thinking spirit was further embodied through her establishment of the Racheli Patent Office in Milan in 1925.

This represents not only an honor, but also creates a bridge between generations in the engineering and architecture community, paying homage to the visionary women who paved the way for future generations.
