OrcidiD: 0000-0003-3949-0310

was a doctoral researcher at the IWF. He developed finite element models used in additive manufacturing. He lead the implementation of mathematical approaches for model order reduction and work on system sensorization. He recently joined the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) and will contribute to establishing the Future Circular Collider (FCC).
