Jonas Heinzmann studied Mechanical Engineering at TU Dresden, where he received his Diploma in 2023 specializing in Simulation Methods in Mechanical Engineering. He wrote his Master’s thesis in a semester abroad at ETH Zürich, where he worked on an acceleration scheme for phase-field fatigue computations.
After his Master’s thesis, he stayed in Zürich to join the Computational Mechanics Group as Doctoral student under the supervision of Prof. Laura De Lorenzis in 2023.
There, he is working on the modeling of fracture phenomena using the phase-field approach. His research interests further lie in variational problems in mechanics as well as their efficient numerical solution and implementation on high-performance clusters.
