Sylvain Gouttebroze is a Senior Research Scientist at SINTEF Industry (Metal Production and Processing), working at the interface of microstructure and manufacturing modelling, semantic interoperability, and data-centric process analysis. His recent co-authored work includes an integrated computational framework for optimizing microstructure in metal additive manufacturing (2025), as well as contributions to SOFC electrode modelling and broader process simulation studies. He has played an active role in advancing semantic standards for manufacturing, co-authoring “Toward Semantic Standard and Process Ontology for Additive Manufacturing” (2024). His research combines micro- and macroscale modelling approaches to study aluminium precipitation, duplex stainless-steel additive manufacturing, and cast-iron inoculation, using finite-element, continuum, and phase-field methods. Earlier in his career, he investigated solidification and macrosegregation phenomena—such as steel 3D-FEM modelling and silicon-ingot thermo-mechanics—demonstrating a long-standing expertise in materials processing, simulation, and digitalisation of manufacturing knowledge.
