About
Jonas Harig is a researcher advancing sustainable aerospace manufacturing through his work on laser-assisted automated fiber placement (AFP) of thermoplastic composites. His primary research areas include process optimization for carbon fiber-reinforced LM-PAEK materials, focusing on in-situ consolidation and real-time thermal monitoring using thermocouple-based systems. Harig’s major contribution lies in developing robust process parameters that enable high-quality, void-free composite layups, directly addressing the aerospace industry’s need to reduce structural mass and carbon emissions—particularly for high-cadence single-aisle aircraft. His most-cited paper (2023, 6 citations) provides a foundational framework for integrating thermocouple feedback into AFP, improving thermal control and reducing defects. This work supports the shift toward lightweight, recyclable thermoplastic composites, aligning with self-commitments and regulatory pressures to lower aviation’s environmental footprint. Harig’s research is pivotal for scaling AFP technologies, offering practical solutions for cost-effective, high-rate production of next-generation aircraft structures. His achievements underscore a commitment to bridging process science and industrial application, making him a key contributor to sustainable aerospace manufacturing.
