Lambert van Breemen

Lambert van Breemen is an Assistant Professor in the Polymer Technology group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), affiliated with the Mechanical Engineering Department. His research focuses on contact mechanics, multi-scale modeling, and polymer technology, particularly studying friction and wear mechanisms in polymers to enhance material longevity and performance.

• PhD and MSc from TU/e on polymer contact mechanics
• Postdoctoral work at ETH Zurich and National Technical University of Athens
• Key collaborators: Hans Christian Öttinger, Paul Smith, Doros N. Theodorou

Research trends involve computational modeling (FEM, EGP model), microstructural analysis of filled polymers, and experimental validation of mechanical properties. Educational contributions includes courses on multiscale modeling and advanced manufacturing. Affiliated with the Processing and Performance group and ICMS Core teams.
