About

Matias Kagias is a leading researcher in advanced X-ray imaging and its application to materials science, with a particular focus on fiber-reinforced composites. His most-cited work, "Macroscopic mapping of microscale fibers in freeform injection molded fiber-reinforced composites using X-ray scattering tensor tomography" (2022, 25 citations), addresses a critical challenge in manufacturing: visualizing the orientation of microscopic fibers within complex, lightweight composite structures. By pioneering the use of X-ray scattering tensor tomography, Kagias enables non-destructive, three-dimensional mapping of fiber alignment at the macroscale—a breakthrough for industries like aerospace and automotive that rely on freeform injection molding for high-performance, design-flexible parts. This work bridges the gap between advanced manufacturing and quality control, offering engineers a powerful tool to optimize material strength and durability. With his innovative approach, Kagias is shaping the future of structural composites, making him a key figure in the intersection of imaging physics and industrial materials science.
