In the operation of vehicles, few components carry as much significance and importance as the brake pad.

Reflecting on my TETFAIR experience, I have undergone a significant shift in mindset—from a primarily research-based approach to one that leans more towards innovation and enterprise. TETFAIR acted as a catalyst for translating my academic ideas into a real-world business context.
