Lead Virtual Validation: Perform complex non-linear structural and thermal-mechanical simulations of rubber-metal mounts for automotive, agricultural and rail applications. Standardized simulation workflows for thermal-mechanical coupling, reducing computation time while maintaining accuracy Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a technical consultant for R&D teams, providing engineering recommendations to optimize component geometry and material selection.

Independent design of elastomer spring elements and metal attachments using PTC Creo. Preparation of production-ready documentation, including technical drawings, bills of materials, and material master data. Management and documentation of design data in the PDM system, as well as maintenance of master data in the SAP ERP system.

Focus: Theoretical and simulation-based fatigue analysis. Methodology: Application of the nominal stress approach (Stress-Life), the structural mechanics approach (Strain-Life), and fracture mechanics. Content: Analysis of material effects, complex loading sequences, and manufacturing-related factors on fatigue strength. Software focus: Implementation of the evaluation methods in ANSYS

Master Thesis: Material modeling of hybrid metallic thermoplastic components for fail-safe prediction of chassis components | Institute of Automotive Lightweight Design, University of Siegen, Germany Conducted comparative study of various thermoplastic materials for use in hybrid metal-thermoplastic chassis components. Developed detailed finite element models in Hypermesh and Abaqus to simulate structural performance under operational loading conditions
