I'm a theoretical material scientist working at the crossroads between solid-state physics, computational material science and applied mathematics. My research focuses on the modeling and simulation of material properties/evolution and related fields, such as pattern recognition and analysis. I mainly exploit continuum elasticity models, Phase-Field / Phase-Field Crystals models, and Finite Element Method calculations. I'm interested in developing continuum and coarse-grained approaches, able to explain and tailor the outcome of experiments. Since March 2021, I'm leading the Mesoscale Material Modeling & Simulations Group at TU-Dresden, IWR & Dresden Center for Comp. Mat. Sci. (DCMS) funded by the Emmy Noether Programme (DFG).
