Christoph Bourauel

Christoph Bourauel is Professor and Head of Oral Technology at the University of Bonn's Faculty of Medicine. He holds a Dr.rer.nat. in Physics from University of Bonn with interdisciplinary work on orthodontic alloys. His research focuses on theoretical and experimental dental biomechanics and biomaterials.

Primary research areas include dental biomechanics, biomaterials performance, orthodontic material aging, and computational modeling of dental systems. Work frequently involves finite element analysis, mechanical testing of dental materials, and clinical applications of novel biomaterials.

Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on dental implant biomechanics, advanced prosthetic materials (PEEK, zirconia), orthodontic aligner technology, and computational modeling of periodontal systems. Notable trends include 3D printing applications, biomimetic coatings, and in silico biomechanical analysis.

Bourauel leads research at the Oral Technology unit within the Center for Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine at University Hospital Bonn. No advising relationships or scientific awards are documented in the available materials.
