Binh Nguyen

Binh Nguyen serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Engineering Mathematics within the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen since October 2024, specializing in advanced computational methods for material science.

His academic foundation includes:

• PhD in Computational Mechanics from Leibniz University Hannover (2016-2021)

Dr. Nguyen's research integrates computational mechanics with artificial intelligence, focusing on FFT-based homogenization techniques, deep material networks, and multi-physics simulations for heterogeneous materials. His current ERC-funded project challenges conventional representative volume element approaches for random heterogeneous materials, pushing boundaries in predictive material modeling through novel numerical frameworks.

His scholarly recognition includes:

• Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (2023-2024)

With extensive international research experience across imec and KU Leuven, Dr. Nguyen has contributed to MEMS development and ERC-funded computational projects, maintaining active collaborations within European materials research networks while advancing his work on beyond-RVE methodologies at Duisburg-Essen.

He operates within the Institute of Engineering Mathematics research ecosystem, leveraging high-performance computing infrastructure for large-scale material simulations and methodological innovation in computational homogenization.
