Warum und woran ich forsche

I have a background in computational engineer science, with focus on numerical modeling of biomechanical problems, specifically the contact mechanics of bone implants and fluid mechanics of blood-perfused devices.

Here at FZJ I am doing content, organizational, and strategic research management at the IAS-9.
