Research Interests

  • Additive Manufacturing (PBF-LB/M):
    Thermomechanical process simulation for the prediction of residual stresses, distortion, and evolving phase fractions.
  • Material Modelling:
    Thermodynamically consistent modelling of (solid-state) phase transformations (e.g., for Ti-6Al-4V).
  • Multiscale Approaches:
    Coupling of micromechanically motivated models at the local scale with efficient macroscopic methods for process simulation (e.g., Inherent Strain Method).
  • Computational Mechanics & FEM:
    Strategies for balancing model resolution (high-fidelity) and computational performance, and the development of numerical frameworks.
  • Software Implementation:
    Efficient implementation of complex algorithms in C++ and development of User Subroutines (UMAT) for Abaqus.
