PhD title for Erik Krämer

We welcome a brand new Doctor of Philosophy in our midst! On November 4th, Erik Krämer successfully defended his dissertation entitled: "The formation of fiber waviness during thermoplastic composite laminate consolidation". Erik has performed his research at the TPRC in close cooperation with the Production Technology research group of Prof. Dr. Ir. Remko Akkerman from the University of Twente. We believe that Erik's work provides a fundamental basis for the development of manufacturing routes that yield defect-free thermoplastic composites parts.
