Sebastian Brandstäter

Dr. Sebastian Brandstäter serves as Lecturer at the Institute for Mathematics and Computer-Based Simulation, Bundeswehr University Munich since 2022. His academic trajectory includes research associate positions at Hamburg University of Technology (2021) and Technical University of Munich (2016-2021).

His research focuses on:

• Scientific Machine Learning for biomechanical systems
• Uncertainty Quantification and Bayesian Inference
• Global Sensitivity Analysis of complex models
• Multi-Physics & Multi-Scale Modeling of biological tissues
• Open-source scientific software development

Dr. Brandstäter's work centers on gastrointestinal biomechanics, particularly computational modeling of gastric electromechanics and motility. He has pioneered applications of Gaussian-process metamodelling for sensitivity analysis in vascular and gastric systems, and develops open-source frameworks (QUEENS, 4C) that enable efficient multi-query analysis of large-scale models.

He actively supervises student theses on patient-specific modeling and computational biomechanics, teaches advanced numerical methods courses, and contributes to the scientific community through conference organization, peer review, and international collaborations. His recent work demonstrates increasing emphasis on data-driven surrogate modeling and solver-independent computational frameworks for biomedical applications.
