Dilek Güzel-Meier

Dilek Güzel-Meier studied aerospace engineering at Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara, where she earned her B.Sc. in 2018 and her M.Sc. in 2021. Her master’s thesis, supervised by Assoc. Prof. Ercan Gürses, focused on a two-level homogenization method for polymer nanocomposites with coated inclusions. In 2021, she joined the Institute of Mechanics at TU Dortmund University to work under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Menzel within the CRC/Transregio 188 “Damage Controlled Forming Processes.” In 2025, she completed her Ph.D. thesis on multiscale modelling of thermo-electro-mechanically coupled material behaviour. She now works as a senior researcher at the institute, where her research focuses on computational homogenisation, two-scale convergence, interface formulations and viscoelasticity.
