Mateusz Hoffert

Mateusz Hoffert is a researcher at the Chair of Thermodynamics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). His work focuses on multiscale simulation of ablative thermal protection materials under hypersonic reentry conditions, addressing critical challenges in spacecraft thermal management.

Research Interests: Hoffert's research spans

• multiscale modeling of thermal protection systems
• computational frameworks for atomistic and continuum-scale interactions
• chemical kinetics in high-temperature environments
• adaptive kinetic Monte Carlo techniques
• finite-volume solvers for porous materials
• NASA's PATO toolbox applications

The thermal protection systems (TPS) he studies are vital for spacecraft reentry, involving pyrolysis, sublimation, and heat transfer dynamics. His publications highlight collaborations on multiscale modeling (2020), interface effects in high-enthalpy flows (2021), and chemical equilibrium models (2015) for ablative materials.

Labs and Teams: He is affiliated with the Chair of Thermodynamics led by Prof. Dongsheng Wen, contributing to TUM's research in energy systems, solar energy, and computational infrastructure.
