Professor Christoph Meier focuses on simulation of additive manufacturing processes, aiming to enhance understanding of the underlying physics and exploit the unprecedented potential of this novel technology. After obtaining his PhD in computational mechanics under Professor Wall at TUM from 2010 to 2016, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Professor Hart at MIT, specializing in simulation methods for additive manufacturing until 2018. Upon returning to TUM, he became the deputy head of the Institute of Computational Mechanics and leads a research group that received an ERC starting grant project, ExcelAM, set to launch in January 2024. His research intersects high-fidelity multi-physics modeling, data-driven approaches, and high-performance computing, facilitating breakthroughs for new technologies in mass production. Professor Meier has been recognized for his contributions with numerous awards, including the ERC Starting Grant in 2023 and the Rudolf Schmidt-Burkhardt Memorial Prize in 2017. He has also contributed to key publications in renowned journals that discuss the mechanics of metal additive manufacturing and related computational methods.
