We are happy to announce the publication of the paper "Cell viscosity influences haematogenous dissemination and metastatic extravasation of tumour cells" under co-authorship of Klemens Uhlmann and Daniel Balzani in the journal nature materials.
M.Sc. Thuc Pham Phu was awarded the Niemann-Prize from the study program Computational Engineering.
Today, Dr. Luigi Perotti from the University of Central Florida presented his work entitled “Extraction of heart health and function indices from magnetic resonance images: from cardiac microstructure to kinematic measurements” in the Journal Club.
We proudly announce that Dennis Ogiermann has successfully defended his PhD thesis on „Efficient Computational Methods for the Electromechanical Simulation and Validation of the Living Heart“ with distinction.
Head of the chair Prof. Daniel Balzani is unanimously elected Dean of the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering by the Faculty Council. He will take up his post on October 1, 2025.
We are delighted to share that Mehran Motevalli has successfully defended his PhD thesis, titled “Numerical Modeling of the Nonlinear, Anisotropic, Saturated Material Behavior in Tensile Membrane Structures”.
The LKM was represented at this year's GACM with four presentations. Hendrik Dorn presented the latest results on the influence of microstructure variability on macroscopic quantities. Sergey Kozinov presented the interaction between configuration forces and defects in flexoelectric materials. Thuc Pham Phu spoke about the influence of strain gradients on local polarization in piezoelectric materials. Dennis Ogiermann presented a method for validating mechanical heart simulations.
At the 10th MEC, Dennis Ogiermann was abstract-selected to present his recent work on studying the influence of Piezo1 ion channels on the mechano-chemical feedback in the heart using computational methods.
The Chair of Continuum Mechanics was represented at this year's FerriteCon with three presentations on the topics of adaptive mesh refinement, multigrid methods, and mesh sorting.
In the context of the DFG project “Computational modeling and simulation of combined seismo- and electrocardiograms as basis for novel diagnostic tools” Dennis Ogiermann and Daniel Balzani visited the cooperation partners of the project Prof. Luigi Perotti and Prof. Hanson Mansy from the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando from June 6 to June 8, 2025. Dennis Ogiermann stayed for another week to work on joint implementations.
