Klaus Roppert

Prof. Klaus Roppert is a researcher at the Institute for Fundamentals and Theory of Electrical Engineering, Technische Universität Graz. His work focuses on electromagnetism, hysteresis modeling, and computational methods in electrical engineering. He holds degrees including Dipl.-Ing., Dr.techn., and BSc.

Research Interests:

• Electromagnetic field theory and hysteresis modeling
• Finite element analysis for nonlinear systems
• Aeroacoustic simulations and fluid-structure interactions
• Material characterization and parameter identification
• Development of open-source simulation tools (e.g., openCFS)

Recent work emphasizes transient analysis of transformers, rotational loss calculations, and energy-based vector hysteresis frameworks. He has contributed to modeling MEMS devices and EMI filters, with a focus on DC-biased components.

Teaching and supervision: Involvement in courses and final theses supervision at TU Graz.

Labs/Tools: Core contributor to openCFS, an open-source platform for coupled field simulations in acoustics and electromagnetics.
