معرفی
Marek Behr is a Professor (C4/W3) and Chairholder at the Chair for Computational Analysis of Technical Systems within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University since 2004. He also holds an Adjunct Professorship at Rice University’s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering since 2005.
His academic leadership roles include serving as Founding Director of the Center for Simulation and Data Science (CSD) since 2018, President of the German Association for Computational Mechanics (GACM) since 2021, and Executive Council Member of the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM) since 2020. He coordinates the International Research Training Group 2379 Modern Inverse Problems with the University of Texas at Austin.
Behr’s research focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), biomedical engineering, and finite element methods, with applications in cardiovascular modeling, multiphysics systems, and manufacturing processes. His work bridges engineering and medicine, addressing challenges like in-stent restenosis, hemolysis prediction, and advanced material processing. He has an h-index of 45 (Google Scholar) and over 3,600 citations.
Teaching responsibilities include courses such as Simulation Methods in Mechanical Engineering, Parallel Computing in Computational Mechanics, and Finite Elements in Fluids. His research group actively collaborates with institutions like the Jülich-Aachen Research Alliance (JARA) and the Oden Institute.
Recent publications emphasize computational models for cardiovascular devices, machine learning in structural health monitoring, and advanced manufacturing simulations, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach to solving complex engineering problems.
