Josef Füssl studied Civil Engineering at TU Wien and was awarded his doctorate with the thesis „Multiscale fracture modeling of bituminous mixtures - from fatigue behavior to ultimate strength properties of asphalt concrete, opens an external URL in a new window“. After a research stay abroad at the University of Oxford he obtained his Venia Docendi, thus qualifiying him to teach in the area of Material simulation and structural mechanics with the habilitation „Novel computational mechanics approaches for wood, asphalt concrete, and paving block constructions, opens an external URL in a new window“ in the year 2017. In addition he successfully applied for a tenure-track position on the subject of Material simulation and structural mechanics in the same year and since April 2019 he was Associate Professor at the Institute of Mechanics of Materials and Structures. In the year 2018 he received the START Preis, opens an external URL in a new window (one of the most prestigious grants for young scientists) [only in German] for the project "Making wood predictable through computational methods, opens an external URL in a new window".
