Sebastian Pröll

Sebastian Pröll is a Researcher at the Chair of Numerical Mechanics within the Institute for Computational Mechanics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where he has served as a Research Associate since 2018 after completing his Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at TUM.

Education:

• 2018: Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Munich
• 2015: Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Munich

His research centers on computational mechanics for metal additive manufacturing, specializing in powder bed fusion process simulation at the part scale. Key focus areas include thermo-structure interaction modeling, material behavior characterization, and high-performance computing implementations using matrix-free methods. He actively develops scientific software as maintainer of the 4C multiphysics library and contributor to the deal.II finite element framework.

Publications from 2020-2024 demonstrate consistent advancement in metal additive manufacturing simulation capabilities, with recent 2024 works achieving breakthroughs in scan-resolved microstructure prediction for full-scale parts. His research integrates constitutive modeling, efficient numerical schemes, and high-performance computing to address industrial-scale challenges, complemented by foundational contributions to the deal.II library ecosystem.

No scientific awards are documented in the available information.

Pröll has supervised diverse student projects including bachelor's/master's theses and term papers on additive manufacturing topics such as microstructure prediction, sensitivity analysis, and simulation visualization. Notable examples include high-performance microstructure prediction (2023) and global sensitivity analysis (2023) projects. Grant funding details are not specified in the source material.

He operates within Prof. Wolfgang A. Wall's Chair of Numerical Mechanics at TUM's Garching campus, contributing to both internal research teams and international open-source communities through his maintenance of the 4C library and deal.II contributions.
