About the professorship
Our research covers a wide range of topics, including material characterisation, continuum mechanics with geometric and physical non-linearities, electro-magnetic-mechanical coupling phenomena in solids, micromechanics and multiscale modelling as well as modelling of damage, fracture and fatigue.
In our work, we combine the classical principles of mechanics with materials science and state-of-the-art numerical methods for predicting material behaviour under various conditions. We attach particular importance to the practical applicability of our research results. The close connection between theoretical modelling and experimental mechanics plays a central role in our work.
Our professorship is always striving to push the boundaries of what is possible and to develop innovative solutions for complex mechanical challenges. We invite you to explore our website to find out more about our research projects, teaching programmes, training courses and cooperation opportunities. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information and collaboration.
