Her research focuses on composite materials, with particular emphasis on manufacturing defects in carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites manufactured using resin transfer moulding (RTM). The aim of her work is to improve the reliability and structural performance of composite components.
Her doctoral research is being conducted within the framework of the MADEiMPACT (Manufacturing Defects and Their Effect on the Mechanical Performance of Lighter
Aero-engines), a research collaboration between Linköping University and GKN Aerospace. The project investigates how manufacturing defects that occur during resin transfer moulding (RTM) and automated preforming affect the mechanical performance of carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites (CFRP).
Within this framework, her work focuses on characterising manufacturing defects in composite laminates and studying their impact on damage initiation and mechanical behaviour under mechanical loading. The research combines experimental manufacturing and mechanical testing with microstructural investigations. In addition, analytical and numerical modelling methods are used to predict damage development and stiffness degradation, taking into account the presence of manufacturing defects.
