Department of Structural Engineering and Component Strength
As a member of the University Council of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, I am dedicated to the development and implementation of a structural concept of the Bauhaus-Universität that preserves the special connection between science and art that the University advocates, as well as a focus on research and instruction that results from financial necessities.
WORK FOCUS & INTERESTS
- computational mechanics
- multi-scale simulation methods for damage analysis of materials and components
- damage mechanics and fracture mechanics
- dynamic problems in civil engineering - biomechanics
