• Teaching: Engineering Mechanics I (WiSe 22/23, WiSe 24/25), Technical Mechanics II (SoSe 23, SoSe 25)
• Education: M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering (2022), B.Sc. in Engineering Science (2019), both from TUM

Goderbauer's research bridges computational methods and biomedical applications, targeting respiratory mechanics in premature lungs and reduced-order modeling. He actively supervises student projects in numerical methods and biomechanics, including works on:

• Automated patient-specific respiratory tract modeling
• Discontinuous Galerkin solvers for energy dissipation analysis
• Global sensitivity analysis of oscillometric measurements
• Phenomenological models for respiratory zone mechanics

His role involves mentoring students like C. Hick and C. Speigner in thesis projects involving finite element methods, Bayesian inverse analysis, and high-performance computing applications in lung mechanics.
