About
Gabrielle Turcot is a leading researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and functional materials, with a core focus on developing smart, integrable structures through additive manufacturing. Her most prominent contribution is the pioneering development of a one-step solvent evaporation-assisted 3D printing method for piezoelectric PVDF nanocomposite structures. This breakthrough, detailed in her highly cited 2017 paper (284 citations), demonstrated a novel material system that eliminates the need for post-printing poling, enabling the direct fabrication of integrable sensors. By incorporating barium titanate nanoparticles, Turcot’s work has significantly streamlined the creation of smart structures, making self-powered sensors and energy harvesters more accessible for applications in robotics, wearables, and structural health monitoring. Her research has had a substantial impact, as evidenced by the sustained citation of her work, which continues to influence the fields of 3D printing and piezoelectric materials. Turcot’s achievements represent a critical step toward fully integrated, functional devices, positioning her as a key innovator in the next generation of additive manufacturing.
