Thomas Josef Reiter

Thomas Josef Reiter is a Professor at the University of Applied Sciences Wels, specializing in Additive Manufacturing, Materials Science, and Non-Destructive Testing. His research focuses on applications of X-ray Micro-computed Tomography (CT) in evaluating materials produced via selective laser melting and topology optimization. He has contributed to studies on porosity analysis in additively manufactured components, biomechanical assessments of bone structures, and finite element simulations of composite materials.

Reiter's work spans collaborations across materials engineering and biomedical applications. His recent studies include fatigue analysis of aluminum brackets and pore distribution in titanium screws using advanced imaging techniques. He organized the FH-Science Day 2007 and has published extensively in peer-reviewed conferences like the European Conference on Non-destructive Testing and AIAA Scitech.

His research emphasizes bridging experimental methods (e.g., in-situ CT) with computational modeling, particularly in short fiber-reinforced materials and structural evaluation of additively manufactured parts.
