Holger Götz

Dr. Holger Götz is a Researcher affiliated with Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU), located at Cauerstraße 3, Room 03.140 in Erlangen. His research focuses on granular matter dynamics, computational mechanics, and metamaterials design. Utilizing advanced simulation techniques like the Discrete Element Method (DEM), he investigates phenomena such as granular jamming, elastic membrane interactions, and robotic gripper optimization. Recent work includes studies on structural features of jammed metamaterials and the dynamic response of granular meta-materials. Götz collaborates with institutions like FAU's physics and engineering departments, contributing to interdisciplinary projects in materials science and robotics.

Publications Highlights: His 2024 paper in Physical Review Research explores metamaterial structural features, while 2023 contributions to Granular Matter and Mathematics in Computer Science address DEM simulations and software advancements. A 2022 study in Granular Matter demonstrates how soft particles enhance robotic gripper performance through granular jamming principles.
