Oliver Wege

Oliver Wege serves as a Researcher and Doctoral Candidate at RWTH Aachen University's Chair for Computational Analysis of Technical Systems (CATS), specializing in advanced computational methods for engineering analysis and simulation.

His academic qualifications include:

• Doctoral Candidate in Computational Analysis of Technical Systems at RWTH Aachen University (September 2024–present)
• Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Hochschule Düsseldorf (March 2022–April 2024)
• Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering Product Development from Hochschule Düsseldorf (September 2018–February 2022)

Research focuses on computational mechanics with emphasis on extending multi-level hp Finite Cell Methods for thermo-viscoplastic analysis and topology optimization of structural systems. His work integrates high-performance computing with engineering design to solve complex technical problems in material behavior and structural redesign, particularly advancing simulation efficiency for viscoplastic materials and truss-based component optimization.

Key recognition includes:

• Deutschlandpreis 2024 for best Master's thesis in Mechanical Engineering (awarded November 2024 by Fachbereichstag Maschinenbau FBTM e.V.)

As part of CATS at RWTH Aachen, he contributes to collaborative research within Germany's computational mechanics community, participating in initiatives like the German-Japanese Workshop on Computational Mechanics while advancing numerical methodologies for industrial applications.
