Function of the AMC: AMC Researchers
M. Sc. Florian Jurke
is a research associate at the Chair of Welding Engineering at Chemnitz University of Technology. His focus is process analysis of arc-processes. He is particularly concerned with sensor integration and anomaly detection in arc-welding processes and additive manufacturing with wire and arc (DED-Arc).
M. Eng. Sumedh Kirve
is a research associate at the Institute of Building Materials, Concrete Construction and Fire Safety (iBMB), Division of Concrete Construction, at TU Braunschweig. His responsibilities include experimental, theoretical, and numerical research in the field of Automated Construction with a focus on robotic manufacturing and digital methods.
Dr.-Ing. Philipp Kopp
is developing efficient finite element methods for engineering applications at the Chair of Data Science in Civil Engineering of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. One of his research areas is the spatiotemporally adaptive resolution and numerical optimization of additive manufacturing processes. He also focusses on immersed simulations of 3D-printed geometries and on spectral element or spectral cell methods for inverse problems in non-destructive testing.
M. Sc. Ema Krakovska
Dr.-Ing. Thomas Kränkel
Head of workgroup concrete technology and assists Prof. Gehlen in leading project A02. He instructs and supports the academic staff regarding additive manufacturing and concrete technological questions.
Dr.-Ing. Konstantin Kutscher
is the lead developer of the VirtualFluids software. In this function he is indispensable for the project as a new doc. res. could not possibly extend the existing framework (>700,000 lines of code) with the new models to be developed and adapted in WP 1-4. He is also experienced in conducting massively parallel runs on THIER-0 systems and analyzing huge data sets with more than 10 degrees of freedom.
M. Sc. Quoc Tuan La
is a doctoral researcher at TU Braunschweig. He is responsible for developing material model of concrete used in additive manufacturing. His doctoral research also focuses on simulating the additive manufacturing deposition process on a part scale. Moreover, he will frequently publish the achieved results within the community.
Dr.-Ing. Lukas Ledderose
is a postdoctoral researcher at the ITE. He is responsible for design strategies and possible applications. This includes the development of new structures, semi-finished parts and the concept for on-site WAAM as well as life cycle analysis and the creation of Digital Twins. He also prepares reports, presentations and publications.
