Cédric Vandenabeele

Dr. Cédric Vandenabeele is a researcher and product developper at Innovative Coating Solutions(Belgium).

He obtained his Master’s degree in Physical and Materials Science in 2010 and his Ph.D. degree in Physics in 2014 from the University of Lorraine (Nancy, France). His Ph.D. works were conducted at Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), in collaboration with The Goodyear Tire and Rubber company. There, Cédric Vandenabeele specialized in thin film synthesis and characterization, especially adhesive coatings, and other type of surface modification by using cold atmospheric plasma technologies.

In 2015, he joined for two years the Chemistry of Plasma Surface Interactions Laboratory (CHIPS, UMons, Belgium). During this first postdoctoral position, he enriched his knowledge in gas phase analysis, low-pressure plasma polymerization, and nanocomposite synthesis.

In 2016, he joined the Laboratory of Analysis by Nuclear Reactions (LARN, UNamur, Belgium). His research activities were focused on the development and characterization of reactor designs dedicated to the plasma functionalization of nanoscale powders.

Since 2022, he has been working at ICS as a Product Developer and is in charge of the powder treatment division. His work focuses on modifying the surface properties of powders, ranging in size from nanometers to millimeters, for a wide range of applications.
