About
Dr. Ji‐Youn Arns is a leading researcher in advanced composite manufacturing, specializing in the characterization and mitigation of defects in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates produced via automated fiber placement (AFP). Her most-cited work, a 2021 study employing micro-CT analysis to investigate process-induced defects, has garnered 21 citations and provides critical insights into how robotic AFP techniques—increasingly vital for aerospace applications—can be optimized for structural integrity. By combining high-resolution imaging with quantitative defect analysis, Dr. Arns has advanced the understanding of void formation, fiber misalignment, and interlaminar gaps, directly contributing to improved quality control in lightweight composite structures. Her research bridges the gap between manufacturing process parameters and material performance, offering practical guidelines for reducing defects in high-performance CFRP components. With a focus on enhancing reproducibility and reliability in automated layup, Dr. Arns’s work supports the broader adoption of composites in weight-sensitive industries. Her contributions are essential for students and engineers seeking to master defect-aware design and process optimization in next-generation composite manufacturing.
