About

Mohamed Hashish is a pioneering figure in the field of abrasive waterjet (AWJ) technology, with his research fundamentally shaping modern manufacturing processes. His key contributions center on advancing AWJ for precision machining of advanced composites and hard materials. Hashish’s most cited work, “Trimming of CFRP Aircraft Components” (2013, 17 citations), demonstrates his critical impact on aerospace manufacturing, detailing how AWJ can effectively trim carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts for next-generation aircraft like the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787. This research addresses the industry’s urgent need for damage-free, high-speed trimming of large composite structures, from wings to fuselage sections. In his notable 2011 study on “AWJ Trimming of Composites and Cutting of Other Materials Using 6-Axis Robots” (5 citations), Hashish expanded the application of AWJ beyond traditional automotive uses by integrating abrasive waterjets with robotic systems, enabling flexible, automated cutting for a wider range of materials. His work has been instrumental in establishing AWJ as a viable, cost-effective alternative to conventional machining, particularly for difficult-to-cut materials. Through these contributions, Hashish has left an indelible mark on both the science and industrial practice of waterjet technology.
