About me
I obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering with a focus on Mechanical Engineering, specializing in finite element simulations as well as selected biomechanics courses. After one year as a student assistant in the lightweight structures group of Prof. Stefanie Elgeti, I completed my Master’s thesis on “Deep Operator Learning in Computational Solid Mechanics”.
Outside of research, I am passionate about sports and take care of the office plants with great dedication.
Research
In my Master’s thesis, I combined methods of isogeometric analysis, a special form of the finite element method, with modern AI tools. Following this work, I was able to further deepen the connection between FEM and AI by starting a PhD within the digibrAIn project. As part of this project, I work in the team of Prof. Dieter Pahr on finite element simulations of the human brain under surgical conditions, with the aim of using AI-assisted models to accurately predict and compensate for brain shift during neurosurgical procedures.
