Successful dissertation: focus on fiber composite technology

On October 15, 2024, Stefan Neunkirchen successfully defended his doctoral thesis entitled “The Potential of Epoxy Binder Rovings in Automated Dry Fiber Filament Winding”.

In his work, he focused on the development and optimization of epoxy-based rovings for use in automated manufacturing processes in fiber composite technology. Neunkirchen was able to achieve significant progress, particularly in the area of dry fiber filament winding – a key technology for the production of lightweight and high-strength components. His research offers exciting new approaches for the efficiency and quality of composite materials in industry.

With this work, Stefan Neunkirchen is making a significant contribution to the automation and further development of fiber composite production, an area of great interest for numerous applications, particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries.

We warmly congratulate him on his successful defense and wish him all the best for his upcoming projects!
