CSE colloquium presentation by Fadi Aldakheel

27 February 2026

On February 27, 2026, the second lecture of this year’s Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) research colloquium cheld its second lecture of the year, continuing the series organized by Professors Apel, Brünig, Kiendl, and Popp.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Fadi Aldakheel from the Institute of Structural Mechanics and Numerical Mechanics (IBNM) at Leibniz University Hannover presented an informative overview lecture on the topic:

“Physics-based machine learning for computational failure mechanics”

He introduced innovative approaches that combine physics-based modeling with machine learning methods to describe failure mechanisms.

The lecture met with great interest: with more than 40 attendees, the event was very well received. The subsequent discussion and Q&A session highlighted the audience’s strong engagement with the presented concepts. During his stay, Prof. Aldakheel also served as a reviewer in a doctoral examination procedure.

The CSE colloquium is held on a regular basis. Invitations to the respective lectures are distributed in advance via email. To be added to the mailing list, please contact Philipp Zilk at philipp.zilk@unibw.de. Interested participants from outside the University of the Bundeswehr Munich are also very welcome.
