Ms Claudia Garschke

Research interests:

Dr Garschke joined the Australian Future Fibre and Innovation Centre (AFFRIC) as Postdoctoral Research Fellow in June 2011. She has a background in the field of composites processing and characterisation. Dr Garschke completed her PhD on an industry-based project in collaboration with Eurocopter Germany GmbH in the area of out-of-autoclave resin infusion of carbon fibre textile preforms and flow modelling. The research involved modelling-based cure kinetics characterisation and process optimisation.
Dr Garschke's current research interests lie in fundamental understanding of the effect of the production process on carbon fibre morphology and their final properties, low-cost manufacture of carbon fibre and development of advanced textile preforming concepts.

Qualifications:

• PhD, (Deakin University, Australia - 2011)
• Dipl.-Ing. (FH), (University of Applied Sciences, Jena Germany - 2006)
