Julie Teuwen

Julie Teuwen serves as an Associate Professor at the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials at TU Delft's Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. After earning her MSc (2006) and PhD (2011) from TU Delft, where she focused on liquid composite molding of thermoplastic wind turbine blades, she gained valuable industry experience as a materials and production process engineer at a wind turbine blade manufacturing company. Her research portfolio centers on developing sustainable solutions for wind turbine blades, with particular emphasis on materials and production processes that enable structural re-use and easy recycling at end-of-life. Her expertise spans multiple areas including erosion behavior of wind turbine blade leading edges, optimization of thermoset composite manufacturing, laser-assisted automated fiber placement of thermoplastic composites, and interphase formation between thermoset-thermoplastic resins. She combines experimental data with predictive simulations to understand physical and mechanical phenomena, contributing significantly to the field of sustainable composite materials and manufacturing processes. Her work bridges academic research with practical industrial applications, particularly in advancing wind energy technology through improved material design and manufacturing processes.
