Lambert van Breemen is an Assistant Professor in the Polymer Technology group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research interests lie in materials technology, numerical analysis, technical mechanics related to polymer technology, and constitutive modeling of materials. He focuses on contact mechanics and small length-scale mechanical testing of polymers, employing multi-scale analysis to understand the intrinsic properties of polymer systems. Notably, his work involves examining how polymers respond to friction and wear, highlighting the complexities as additional fillers are introduced into unfilled polymers. By simplifying the intricate processes of friction and wear, he aims to contribute insights that could impact future applications of polymer materials. Van Breemen completed his MSc at TU/e, where he worked on the 3D implementation and validation of the Leonov model, which describes the intrinsic response of glassy polymers leading to a PhD entitled "Contact Mechanics of Glassy Polymers." His academic journey has included crucial internships and collaborative work in renowned institutions such as Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETHZ) and National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), further enriching his expertise in polymer science.
