Gordon Bishop has over 12 years experience of the composites industry, defining and managing complex multi-disciplinary development projects in a range of composite materials processing technologies. He has practical and theoretical knowledge of a broad range of manufacturing techniques, including pultrusion, resin transfer moulding and filament winding, and he has developed expertise in the commercial application of new product and process developments. He is currently Business Manager of the Composites Practice at Pera Technology, England.
Dr. Dirk Huybrechts, born 1963, obtained his diploma degree in mechanical engineering from the RWTH (technical university) Aachen, Germany. As a member of the scientific staff of the IKV (Institute for Plastics Processing) in the department of composites his research interest was focused on design and dimensioning of FRP components. Currently he is working with the development team "wound sandwich railway carriage" of Schindler Waggon AG, Switzerland.
