The conference, hosted by the HiLASE Centre – FZU, Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, brought together leading experts in laser materials processing and related technologies.

Ines’s award-winning poster, titled
👉 “In-Situ Control of Laminated Composite Dismantling by Laser Shock for Reuse Using Structural Health Monitoring”,
presents groundbreaking research from the RECREATE project on the disassembly and reuse of laminated composites using laser shock techniques.

Her work demonstrates the potential of laser shock not only to separate composite layers effectively, but also to preserve and even enhance the structural and mechanical integrity of the materials paving the way for more sustainable reuse of high-performance composites.

This recognition follows Ines’s previous awards in advancing circular economy solutions through innovative material reuse strategies.
