Hi, my name is David and I am currently doing research in the field of fiber-reinforced plastic composites at the Technical University of Brandenburg
My organisation
The lightweight design research in the field of fiber-plastic composites is a successful research focus at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus - Senftenberg.
Along the product-oriented value chain, the international and interdisciplinary team of the chair of Polymer-based Lightweight Design deals with the cross-industry development of energy-efficient lightweight design solutions and associated production technologies.
Starting from the initial idea, through the design of prototypes, to the technical implementation of complex technology demonstrators, the focus is primarily on the design and simulation as well as on the manufacture and testing of function-integrative multi-material design methods, using fiber-plastic composites and metals.
About me
I completed my studies at Chemnitz University of Technology in the field of Sports-Engineering and Textile Technologies. After my masters thesis at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWS I stayed there for two years before chaging to my current position at the Chair of Polymer-based Lightweight Design (BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg).
