معرفی
Andreas Müller is a Lecturer at ETH Zürich's Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering. He holds a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from the Technical University Munich (TUM, 2015) and has worked as a bridge engineer at BUNG Ingenieure AG in Munich (2016–2017). Since 2017, he has been pursuing a PhD under Prof. Taras, initially at Bundeswehr University Munich (UniBw) and later continuing at ETH Zürich's Chair of Steel and Composite Structures. His research focuses on structural stability, particularly the buckling behavior of high-strength steel hollow sections, post-buckling rotation capacity, and the influence of initial imperfections analyzed via 3D surface scans (Reverse Engineering). He also investigates spiral-welded tubes' imperfection assessment and strain hardening effects on aluminum structural sections.
Education:
- Master of Science in Civil Engineering, Technical University Munich (2015)
Research interests emphasize bridging experimental and computational methods in structural engineering. He employs machine/deep learning for predictive modeling of buckling phenomena, particularly leveraging Deep Neural Networks (DNN) to enhance accuracy in structural analysis. His work addresses practical challenges in steel and composite structures, including standard compliance (e.g., prEN1993-1-1 updates) and real-world geometry imperfections' impact on load capacities.
Advising and grants: As a current PhD candidate, he is supervised by Prof. Taras but has not yet listed advisees. His research is supported by institutional resources at ETH Zürich's Chair of Steel and Composite Structures.
Labs/Teams: Active member of the Chair of Steel and Composite Structures at ETH Zürich, contributing to advanced structural mechanics research and engineering innovation initiatives.
