On August 4, 2026, Dr.-Ing. Robert Fleischhauer delivered an academic lecture titled “Multi-Physical and Anisotropic Constitutive Modeling of Wood Based on the Multiplicative Split of the Deformation Gradient” as part of his habilitation process. This was followed by a trial lecture titled “Solving Branching Problems in Planar Truss Models,” intended primarily for students in their fifth semester. The Habilitation Committee will recommend to the Faculty Board that the habilitation process be deemed successfully completed, subject to the publication of the thesis. The faculty extends its warmest congratulations on this achievement.
