Prof. Felix Fritzen is a Heisenberg Professor (W3) for Data Analytics in Engineering at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Applied Mechanics (MIB). His work is embedded in the Cluster of Excellence Data-Integrated Simulation Science (SimTech). He leads the EMMA Emmy Noether group (2015–2020) and previously headed the KIT Young Investigator Group CAMM. His research focuses on data-driven surrogate models, uncertainty quantification, and computational mechanics of materials, with emphasis on nonlinear model reduction and multiscale simulations. Education: Ph.D. (Dr.-Ing., summa cum laude) from KIT (2011), Dipl.-Math. techn. (2007), Dipl.-Ing. (2006). Research interests include machine learning integration with mechanics, microstructure-property relations, and high-performance simulation techniques. Notable contributions involve FFT-based homogenization, reduced order modeling, and GPU-accelerated methods. He has authored over 60 peer-reviewed papers, including works on surrogate models for microstructure forecasting and thermoelastic material analysis. Awards include the KIT PhD Award (2012) and recognition as a GAMM Junior (2012–2014). His teaching includes courses on data processing for engineers and model order reduction. Funded projects include DFG grants (EXC-2075, HE 7919/1) and the Heisenberg Professorship (FR2702/8).
