Gudrun Ahn-Ercan

Gudrun Ahn-Ercan is a Professor of Numerical Mathematics and Applied Statistics at the Faculty of Wood Engineering, Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development. Her research focuses on mathematical modeling of wood material behavior, particularly springback effects in laminated wood stacks. She collaborates with Alexander Pfriem and Moritz Sanne on projects like the "Bambulator" (renewable material walker), addressing industrial challenges in wood lamination processes.

Her work includes peer-reviewed publications such as the 2020 Forests article on springback prediction in beech laminates. Key findings include a statistical formula correlating springback with lamination count and elasticity values, validated through experimental data. She utilizes programming languages like R for regression analysis and finite element modeling to bypass trial-and-error methods.
