About
Matthias Pooch is a leading figure in the field of textile-reinforced composites, with a particular focus on the manufacturing and characterization of carbon fiber non-crimp fabrics (NCFs). His key research areas include the development of advanced, non-destructive testing methods for analyzing the draping behavior of these high-performance materials. Pooch’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on using eddy current techniques to study the 3D draping behavior of carbon fiber NCFs, a method that allows for real-time, in-process monitoring of fiber architecture during forming. His seminal 2017 paper on this topic, which has garnered 47 citations, is considered a foundational reference for researchers seeking to optimize composite manufacturing processes and predict defect formation. By providing a quantitative understanding of how NCFs deform under complex loading, Pooch’s work directly impacts the production of lightweight, high-strength components for aerospace and automotive applications. His research bridges the gap between material science and industrial manufacturing, offering practical solutions for quality assurance in composite production.
