Philipp Jakobs

Philipp Jakobs serves as a Research Associate at the Chair of Structural Analysis, Technical University of Munich since 2024, contributing to advanced computational research in structural engineering under Professor Roland Wüchner's leadership.

His academic foundation includes:

• Master of Science in Computational Mechanics (2022-2024)
• Bachelor of Science in Engineering Science (2018-2022)

Specializing in topology and shape optimization for additive manufacturing in construction, Jakobs develops computational frameworks to bridge 3D printing technologies with civil engineering applications. His work addresses critical challenges in material efficiency, structural integrity, and manufacturability constraints for large-scale construction projects, leveraging isogeometric analysis and finite-element methodologies to innovate building design processes.

No scientific awards are documented in available sources.

While mentoring activities aren't specified, his role within the Chair suggests involvement in guiding student theses. Third-party projects like Digital Building Kit and WINSENT indicate collaborative research funding within the department.

As part of TUM's Structural Analysis Chair, Jakobs contributes to a multidisciplinary team advancing computational mechanics through software development (Carat++, Kratos Multiphysics) and research in wind engineering, fluid-structure interaction, and optimization algorithms for next-generation construction technologies.
