M. Sc. Daniel Weger
Former researcher in the Focus Area A of the projects A 02 and A03.
Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Henning Wessels
Henning Wessels completed his PhD on thermo-mechanical modeling of powder bed fusion processes at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) in 2019. During his Ph.D. he spent six months at the University of California, Berkeley. After a Postdoc at LUH, he has been appointed Assistant Professor for data-driven modeling and simulation of mechanical systems at the Technical University of Braunschweig in May 2021. His research aims to improve and augment physics-based numerical models from the field of computational mechanics using machine learning techniques. In the AMC, Henning Wessels is collaborating with Jonas Hensel and Stefan Kollmannsberger on data-driven approaches that help to decipher the process-structure-property (PSP) interaction inherent to additive manufacturing processes.
M. Sc. Diana Zavaleta
is a civil engineer and doctoral researcher at the TU Braunschweig Institute for Structural Design (ITE). She is responsible for Project A10, where she is conducting research on Sprayed Earth Additive Manufacturing (SEAM). Her work involves exploring earthen construction techniques, enhancing the SEAM process, and optimizing material-process interactions. Within this project, she focuses on material development through experimental studies, data analysis, and investigating material behavior to identify and optimize the key parameters of the SEAM process.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael F. Zäh
guides the scientific staff in the execution of the LPBF experiments.He provides guidance in methods for analysing the main mechanisms of action and the correlation of the results for the whole process chain. Head of iwb and supports the academic staff regarding additive manufacturing, alignment and execution of numerical heat transport simulations, questions during validation and process development.
