Mark Fischer joins the computer-based simulation group

21 Mai 2026

We are pleased to welcome Mark Fischer as a new research associate in our team.

Mark received his B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Stuttgart and later completed the M.Sc. program Mathematics in Science and Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). During both degrees, he specialized in computational solid mechanics with a strong focus on numerical modeling and simulation methods.

He also gained international academic experience through a research stay at the University of Texas at Austin as part of his bachelor’s thesis and during an exchange semester at Sorbonne Université in Paris.

In his bachelor’s thesis, Mark worked on solving the Cahn–Hilliard equation using isogeometric analysis (IGA). His master’s thesis focused on cross-talk effects in trimmed isogeometric shells and on the Control Point Duplication approach for dynamic crack simulations, for example in crash test applications.

At our institute, Mark will work on multigrid methods for semi- and block-structured meshes in computational solid mechanics. We are very happy to welcome him to the team and look forward to the collaboration.
