Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Ernst Rank
was head of the Chair for Computation in Engineering of TUM. Since his retirement in March 2020 he has been member of the Emeriti of Excellence of the university. As such, he guides researchers in the areas of geometric modelling and develops simulation methods of high accuracy. He has actively carried out research in this area himself for decades. In this research project, he is responsible for the bridging of scales as well as the development of simulations regarding mineral based artefacts. He intends to continue his research in TR277 at least for the whole first funding period.
