Jonathan Glinz

Jonathan Glinz is a Researcher at the University of Applied Sciences Wels (FH Wels), affiliated with the Research Center Wels and multiple Centers of Excellence, including Automotive/Mobility, Medical Engineering/TIMed, and Smart Production. He earned his PhD in 2023 from TU Wien's Institute of Materials Science and Technology, focusing on quantitative phase and dark-field contrast computed tomography for industrial applications in lightweight materials. His research interests span X-ray computed tomography, additive manufacturing, materials characterization, and biomedical engineering.

Education:

• PhD in Materials Science, TU Wien (2019–2023)

Research Focus: Glinz specializes in advanced imaging techniques (e.g., X-ray CT, phase contrast, dark-field imaging) for non-destructive evaluation of materials, particularly in additive manufacturing, carbon composites, and biomedical applications. His work emphasizes porosity detection, fatigue life prediction, and material degradation analysis under hygrothermal conditions.

Collaborations: Active in interdisciplinary projects like HyperMAT (hyperspectral material characterization) and TCA5 (diabetic foot imaging), Glinz collaborates with universities and industry partners in Austria and the Czech Republic. He has presented at international conferences on topics like microcomputed tomography in biomedical materials.

Awards:

• Recipient of the Ron Halmshaw Award (2020)
• "Forschungsassistent*in des Jahres 2023" (Research Assistant of the Year)

Labs/Teams: Core member of the Com3d-XCT Competence Center for 3D X-ray imaging and the PSSP project on photonic sensing for industrial processes.
