Curriculum Vitae Summary

I did my Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences at the University of Innsbruck in the field of flexible multibody system dynamics, my M.Sc. in Advanced Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London, and my B.Sc. in Automotive Engineering at the Joanneum University of Applied Sciences Graz — each with distinction and almost exclusively with straight A's. Prior to this, I gained extensive work experience as an automotive technician. Currently, I am not only contributing to the mission of the Chair of Applied Mechanics at the Technical University of Munich as a principal scientist and member of the chair’s management team, but I am also a visiting professor at Boeing. Also, time and again I have been teaching as an adjunct professor at various institutions around the world. My research and work center on hybrid simulation techniques in the field of engineering dynamics; specifically, on the development of novel formulations and methods — combining classical with data-driven approaches — to accurately and efficiently analyze complex engineering systems and processes and to move from physical to virtual prototyping via interactive real-time digital twins.
