About

Since July 2018 I have been working at the Institute of Lightweight Design and Structural Biomechanics (ILSB) at the TU Wien on selective laser melted lattice structures. The aim of my work is to predict failure, such as fracture and buckling in lattice structures with FE analyses and experiments. Parts of my work were published in the Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics. In addition, I have been teaching multiple courses of the Finite Element Method and have been involved in writing grant applications.

  • Postdoctoral Researcher at Universität Bern
    Feb 2017 - Mar 2018 · 1 yr 2 mos

    Between February 2017 and March 2018, I worked at the Institute for Surgical Technology and Biomechanics (ISTB) of the University of Bern in Switzerland. I investigated the post yield behavior of trabecular bone with non-linear micro-FE analyses. My work was presented at the 8th World Congress of Biomechanics and published in the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering.

  • PHD Student at Universität Rostock
    Oct 2010 - Oct 2016 · 6 yrs 1 mo

    Between October 2010 and January 2017, I worked as a research assistant at the Institute of Structural Mechanics (StM) at the University of Rostock in Germany. During this time, I finalized my doctoral thesis and published the results in international journals. Part of my research was designing large scale samples of ship double hull structures for collision experiments. I investigated the collapse behavior in FE simulations before and after the experiments. As a teaching assistant I gave lecture classes of Finite Element Methods and Engineering Mechanics multiple times.
