Research Interests:
"" Polymer processing
"" Composites and rheology
"" Simulations of polymer processes
"" Nonlinear viscoelasticity
"" Polymers derived from renewable resources
Current Projects:
"" Shrinkage and warpage of fiber-reinforced thermoset parts
"" Inertial effects during flow of low viscosity polymers
"" Development of a boundary element simulation of the non-isothermal
"" Non-newtonian flow of polymer melts laser-assisted friction stir welding
"" Processabilty of polymers derived from renewable resources, recyling, ethics in engineering
"" The goal is to develop and apply a science-based understanding of the whole processes (heat transfer, material science, mechanics etc.) in order to increase performance and offer new manufacturing tools to industry
