Katrin Ellermann

Katrin Ellermann is a University Professor (Professor) at the Institute of Mechanics, Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), Austria. Her research spans rotordynamics, nonlinear vibrations, biomedical engineering (particularly aortic dissection modeling), and offshore systems. She has developed advanced numerical methods like the Numerical Assembly Technique and applied fractional derivative damping models to rotor systems. Her work integrates computational mechanics with applications in industrial machinery and cardiovascular diagnostics via impedance cardiography.

Her research interests include:

• Stability and vibration analysis of mechanical systems
• Computational modeling of aortic dissection and thrombosis
• Application of polynomial chaos expansion and sensitivity analysis
• Control systems using Kalman filters and mechatronic simulations
• Nonlinear dynamics in offshore structures
• Advanced damping models via fractional calculus

Recent publications focus on rotordynamics (balancing techniques, damping models) and biomedical simulations (SynthAorta dataset, false lumen thrombosis). She has also contributed to fault detection in railway and offshore systems.
