Lauren De Grave: Lauren De Grave started a Bachelor in Chemistry at Hasselt University (Belgium) in 2013, after which she continued to a Master at KU Leuven (Belgium). In 2018, she obtained her Master's degree in Chemistry with specialization in organic synthesis after completing a Master's thesis in the group of Prof. Dr. Wim Dehaen. After graduating, she started working as a researcher at KU Leuven in the research group of Prof. Dr. Mario Smet. This research focused on the development and optimization of several organic compounds (monomers, polymers, dispersants and additives) as organic matrix for the preparation of ceramic slurries with beneficial properties for 3D printing of dental prostheses. Since 2020, she is working as a joint PhD student in Ghent University (Polymer Chemistry & Biomaterials Group, Belgium) and Maastricht University (Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials, The Netherlands) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sandra Van Vlierberghe and Prof. Dr. Katrien Bernaerts. She is currently working on the Interreg project GREENER, which focuses on the development of a biobased and biodegradable alternative for the water-soluble and wide-spread polyacrylic acid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
