About

Dr. Angel San-Roman is a specialist in aeronautical assembly and composite structures, with a focused expertise in automated shimming technologies. His research addresses critical challenges in the manufacturing of mechanically joined composite components, where geometric conformance and gap management are essential for structural integrity and safety. His most cited work, "End-Effector for Automatic Shimming of Composites" (2016, 6 citations), presents a novel robotic end-effector designed to detect and fill gaps in composite assemblies during the shimming process. This contribution directly tackles the risky redistribution of loads caused by undesired gaps in aeronautical structures, offering an automated solution that improves precision and reduces manual intervention. By integrating robotics with composite material handling, Dr. San-Roman’s work supports the advancement of more reliable and efficient assembly lines for aircraft manufacturing. His research is particularly valuable for engineers and researchers working on automation in aerospace production, where even small geometric deviations can have significant consequences. Through this targeted innovation, he has laid groundwork for safer, more consistent composite joining processes in high-stakes aeronautical applications.
