About me
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Spickenheuer studied aerospace engineering at Technische Universitat Dresden and Nihon University Koriyama, Japan. Since 2005, he has been a scientist at the Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden e. V. (IPF) and in 2010 he was appointed Head of the Workgroup of Complex Structural Components. In 2013, he co-founded the IPF spin-off company Complex Fiber Structures GmbH. Dr. Spickenheuer obtained his PhD in material science in 2014 and was honored in the same year with the WAK Oechsler award for the best PhD thesis. His main research interest is the exploitation of anisotropic composite material properties for extreme lightweight structures by applying variable-axial fiber designs. Since 2021 he is an honored Professor at the University of Applied Science Dresden in the field of Materials and Simulation Techniques.
