CV
"I have been involved with fiber composite materials for more than fifteen years. The fascination with creating new products out of the possibilities that modern materials can offer is the driving force behind increasing the efficiency of processes and products. CFRP as a material system is among the most innovative resources that exist today. It enables the optimization of production processes and, in doing this, making production more economical."
