Senior Associate Professor
My research lies between materials science and solid mechanics and includes the study of e.g. mechanical properties, material fatigue, fracture mechanics, materials testing and material modelling.

Materials carrying cyclic load at high temperature are particularly susceptible to fatigue. Material fatigue involves the development of damage in the material, crack initiation in damaged regions, crack growth and, eventually, final rupture.
I am a Guest Editor for the journal Materials Special Issue "Damage, fracture, and Fatigue of Metals."
