Research
My research focuses on the sustainable development and characterization of natural fiber-based composites for high-performance applications, with a specific emphasis on renewable materials and eco-friendly solutions.
- New material blends for use in building construction- insulation.
- Novel non-woven hemp composites for use in the automotive industry.
- Sustainability in wood based panel industry with wood waste recycling.
- Comprehensive analysis on the physical and chemical properties of natural fibers (e.g., wood, cattail, hemp and reed).
