Jacqueline Gerhard

Jacqueline Gerhard is an academic staff member at the Institute for Machine Elements and Sealing Technology, University of Stuttgart. Her research focuses on sealing technology, additive manufacturing, numerical simulation methods (FEM/CFD), and machine learning applications in mechanical systems. She collaborates on projects involving wear analysis, thermal modeling of seals, and 3D-printed component optimization.

Her work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to improve seal reliability and tribological performance. Recent studies include conjugate heat transfer analyses for predicting seal contact temperatures and material selection strategies for additive manufacturing applications in sealing systems.

Gerhard has contributed to international conferences (e.g., ISC, LUBMAT IBERTRIB) and peer-reviewed journals like Applied Sciences. Her applied research bridges theoretical models with industrial applications in powertrain systems and mechanical engineering.
