Focus on natural fibers: Khubab Shaker researches sustainable manufacturing processes in Leoben

Since August 6, 2024, we have had the pleasure of hosting Assistant Professor Dr. Khubab Shaker from the National Textile University in Faisalabad, Pakistan.

Over the next three months, he will be researching innovative semi-finished structures made from natural fibers and their processing properties.

In this context, he delivered his inaugural lecture on August 20, 2024, where he discussed the current state of harvesting, processing, and further development of various natural fibers. He provided valuable insights into a frequently overlooked part of the value chain and highlighted connections that could lead to the development of more sustainable processing methods.

We wish him much success in his research endeavors and eagerly anticipate the presentation of his findings.
