Professor Vadim Silberschmidt holds the Chair of Mechanics of Materials at Loughborough University's Wolfson School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, UK. He leads the Mechanics of Advanced Materials Research Group and chairs the 'Materials and Measurement' research theme. As Director of the International Centre of Vibro-Impact Systems (ICoVIS), his work spans interdisciplinary mechanics and materials science. Previously, he was a Senior Researcher at Technische Universität München and a Humboldt Foundation Fellow at DLR.
His research focuses on composite materials, fracture mechanics, biomedical applications, and additive manufacturing. Key contributions include computational modeling of material behavior under extreme conditions, damage analysis in composites, and biomaterials for medical devices. He has pioneered studies on the thermomechanical behavior of cast irons and fracture processes in advanced materials.
