Christoph Meier

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christoph Meier leads the Professorship for Simulation of Additive Manufacturing Processes at Technische Universität München (TUM). His research focuses on computational modeling of additive manufacturing, multiscale mechanics, and advanced finite element methods for complex material behaviors.

• Position: Professor at TUM
• Research: Additive Manufacturing, Powder Dynamics, Beam Modeling
• Methodologies: Finite Element Analysis, SPH Coupling, Multiscale Simulation

His work bridges mechanical engineering and materials science, with recent publications covering composite lattice structures, melt-vapor dynamics, and beam-to-surface coupling in additive manufacturing. He develops novel computational frameworks for 3D deformation analysis and molecular interaction modeling in complex systems.

Selected article trends show expertise in metal powder spreading techniques (roller-based and blade-based), microstructure prediction for Ti-6Al-4V, and contact mechanics for slender structures. His work also addresses thermal modeling in laser-based processes and biomedical applications like coronary angioplasty simulations.
