Dr. Huber joined ICT in 2007 and has led injection molding and extrusion processes during his tenure as project leader, as well as subsequent research on thermoplastic material molding technology. The main research topics involved are pultrusion, injection and molding of thermoplastic polymers and Advanced foam structure molding technology; also includes mass production processes of thermoset and thermoplastic-based composite materials (thermoplastic long fiber reinforced material LFT, sheet molding SMC, high-pressure resin transfer molding HP-RTM, wet molding , Automatic tape laying, pultrusion, etc.). In 2014, Mr. Huber received a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and later served as the deputy director of the Fraunhofer Institute of Chemical Technology for Polymer Engineering, leading the team to develop a number of advanced Composite material application projects involve automotive manufacturing, aerospace, rail transportation, construction, energy and other fields, covering the entire development process from concept development to prototype manufacturing. At the same time, another important area of responsibility of Dr. Huber is responsible for the major project communication, decision-making and management of Fraunhofer's composite project research and development centers in Busan, South Korea and Ontario, Canada, including cooperation with other scientific institutions and enterprises. .
ACTC is built by HRC, with the full range of technical support from Fraunhofer Institute of Chemical Technology in Asia. It is also the first domestic open composite technology research and development platform with automobile lightweight as the main target area. OEMs, Tier 1 auto parts suppliers, aerospace, rail transportation and other industries are the main service targets. The research focuses on two different directions of thermosetting and thermoplastic, different molding technologies and applications for continuous and discontinuous fibers. The center is located in the High-tech Industrial Development Zone of Changshu City, Jiangsu Province. It is currently in the midst of construction and will be officially put into use in the third quarter of 2019 as planned.
One of ACTC's important positioning is to create a cluster of top composite industry talents and companies in Asia and the world. Not long ago, another senior person from the automotive industry, Mr. Guo Yi, also joined the ACTC team and served as Deputy General Manager. Mr. Guo Yi holds a master's degree in polymer materials from the University of Rouen, France. He is an expert with both a technical background and rich business operation experience. He has worked in many well-known domestic and foreign automobile and first-tier supplier companies such as Volvo, Faurecia, and held important senior management positions such as research and development, projects, and quality. He has rich experience and profound experience in automotive development processes and the application of new materials. Understanding. The joining of two heavyweights fully shows ACTC's great determination to become a world-class composite materials research and development platform. As well-recognized outstanding talents in their respective fields, these two parallel engines will work together to lead ACTC's momentum. A high-speed train is about to go into a speeding track.
