معرفی
Remco I. Leine is a Full Professor and Director of the Institute for Nonlinear Mechanics at the University of Stuttgart. He earned his M.Sc. from Delft University of Technology, Ph.D. from Eindhoven University of Technology, and Habilitation from ETH Zurich, where he later became a Titular Professor. His academic journey includes postdoctoral research at Technical University Munich, INRIA Rhône-Alpes, and ETH Zurich.
Leine's research interests sit at the intersection of nonsmooth dynamics and nonlinear dynamics, focusing on stability theory for nonsmooth systems, friction-induced vibrations, bifurcations in nonsmooth dynamical systems, and multibody systems with impact and friction. Recent work explores Koopman–Hill stability analysis, nonsmooth integration algorithms, and model reduction techniques for complex mechanical systems.
Key trends in his publications include advances in numerical methods (e.g., nonsmooth RATTLE algorithm, generalized-alpha method), stability analysis of periodic orbits, modeling of frictional and impact phenomena, and applications to systems like the tippedisk and vibro-impact energy sinks. His work bridges theoretical developments with practical simulations in fields such as rockfall dynamics and multibody contact problems.
Scientific awards include a prestigious
- Fellowship from the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences (2002)
Advising highlights numerous current and completed PhD students, such as Paul Haacker, Tianxiang Dai, and Jonas Breuling. He contributes to editorial work as a Topical Associate Editor for Nonlinear Dynamics and a scientific board member for JTCAM.
The Institute for Nonlinear Mechanics, which he directs, is a hub for research on nonsmooth dynamical systems. He actively participates in workshops and conferences, including keynote lectures at ENOC 2024 and ECCOMAS 2021, and co-organizes European Network for Nonsmooth Dynamics symposia.
