Andreas Fellner

Andreas Fellner is a Researcher at TU Wien's Scientific Computing and Modelling department, focusing on interdisciplinary research spanning biomedical engineering, computational neuroscience, and software testing. His work integrates numerical simulation techniques like the finite element method (FEM) with biological systems, particularly neural stimulation modeling in cochlear implants and retinal ganglion cells. He has contributed to understanding excitation thresholds, block phenomena in neurons, and optimizing electrode placements in auditory nerve stimulation. Fellner also bridges computer science and neuroscience through mutation testing frameworks and algorithmic test case generation methods.

Key research areas include neural modeling using COMSOL, auditory nerve fiber response simulation, and improving medical device efficacy through computational analysis. His collaborations span fields such as neuroprosthetics, cellular biophysics, and formal software verification. Fellner has supervised multiple graduate theses on topics like 3D auditory nerve fiber structures and EEG noise reduction, reflecting his mentorship in both engineering and computational biology domains.
