  Composite materials are the best choice for lightweight solutions and thus greatly contribute to resource conservation. A meaningful use of composite materials is the key for a forward-looking and sustainable development of our society. Putting this vision into practice has therefore become the goal to which the employees of the Processing of Composites Group have dedicated their individual work. As a result, the mission of the group is the development of processing techniques of polymer-based fibre reinforced composite materials. Show less



Advanced Manufacturing: Polymer & Composites Science

• Editor in Chief

  • Jun 2015 - Present

  Advanced Manufacturing: Polymer & Composites Science ( AMPCS) publishes refereed research articles addressing advanced and automated manufacturing challenges in structural polymer-based composites and multifunctional materials. The journal welcomes original articles covering recent research advances in materials, technologies and processes for improved design and manufacturing in the aerospace, automotive, energy, electronics, defence and healthcare sectors. Development of methods for integration of advanced materials into systems falls within this scope, including cost reduction and/or economic impacts in innovative manufacturing and assembly processes.

Christian Doppler Laboratory for High Efficient Composite Processing

• Leoben

• Head of Laboratory

  • Apr 2013 - Mar 2020

  The Christian Doppler Laboratory (CDL) for High Efficient Composite Processing was established in April 2013. The industrial partner of the CDL is FACC operations GmbH. Funded by the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy and mentored by the Christian Doppler Research Association (CDG), the laboratory will last up to 7 years. The aim of the lab is to develop fundamental understanding of various process branches which make the manufacturing of typical aeronautic and high load-bearing structural components possible. A special focus is put on cost-efficient manufacturing. State of the art process chains are analysed and optimized and furthermore, new developments are planned. In order to select process steps clearly beyond the State-of-the-art, improved functionality is essential. Show less
