Self-introduction
The research focuses on advanced composite materials, with particular emphasis on carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP). Current work aims to develop lightweight and high-strength structural materials for aerospace and other high-performance applications. Through combined experimental and analytical approaches, the research examines damage and fracture mechanisms in CFRP to support the development of safer and longer-lasting composite structures. In addition, the research explores environmentally conscious material design, including the use of recycled materials and low-impact manufacturing concepts, contributing to the advancement of clean and sustainable technologies for future engineering applications.
