Ruan-Isabelle Richard Soucy completed her MSc at the Laboratory of Ilyass Tabiai (ilylabs), co-supervised by Prof. Martine Dubé. Her research focused on valorizing production waste from thermoplastic composite prepregs (CF/PEKK-PEEK) for use as feedstock in large-scale fused granular fabrication (FGF). Her work demonstrated a viable pathway for recycling aerospace-grade composite waste into structural 3D printing material, and was published in 2025.
