Chair of Materials Theory (MAT)
Chair of Continuum Mechanics (CONT)
In one of the focus areas of research at the Chair of Continuum Mechanics are elastomeric and polymeric materials, for which numerical modeling, mechanical characterization (in experimental facilities) and rheological description is performed. Another research aspect is given by investigations of multi-phase and/or porous materials, for instance through computational homogenization, physical modeling and Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS). Finally, image-based characterization (among others) is available in the labs associated to the Porous Media Lab (PML).
Heisenberg Group for Data Analytics in Engineering (DAE)
Data-driven modeling and simulation, data-supported solvers, reduced order modeling and advanced numerical methods are in the heart of our research. Visit the Data Analytics in Engineering homepage for more details.
Soft Intelligent Machines Group (SIM)
Our group mission can be condensed to the phrase 'intelligence through design': we aim to embed intelligence in the physical structure of soft machines. Thus, our research comprises the areas of soft robotics, mechanical instabilities, mechanical metamaterials and soft biosensors.
