Jendrik-Alexander Tröger is a doctoral researcher at Clausthal University of Technology. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences and his Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Clausthal University of Technology.
Since December 2020, he has been a doctoral researcher in the Solid Mechanics group led by Prof. Stefan Hartmann and is highly committed to both research and teaching, including responsibility for the in-house finite element code and the solid mechanics lab.
He visited Prof. François Hild at the ENS Paris-Saclay in October 2024 to gain insights into full-field measurement techniques. In his PhD thesis, Jendrik focuses on time-adaptive immersed boundary finite element methods for nonlinear thermo-mechanically coupled computations.
His research aims to bridge the gap between numerical analyses and experimental studies in solid mechanics. Earlier work concentrated on constitutive model calibration and uncertainty quantification based on full-field measurements using digital image correlation and infrared thermography. Additionally, collaborative work with colleagues from computer science has resulted in the development of a deep operator-based approach for microstructure homogenization.
Jendrik is always happy about collaborating and exchanging ideas in the broad field of solid mechanics.
