Ever since my graduation I was involved in numerical modelling of the mechanical behaviour of structures and manufacturing processes. This field is a combination of (computational) mechanics, materials science, production technology and numerics.
Since 2011, I lead the group Nonlinear Solid Mechanics, and I became full professor in 2015. The main strength of this group is the simulation and optimization of forming processes.
Currently, I am
- Portfolioholder (vice-dean) Research in the Board of the Faculty Engineering Technology
- Member of the Steering Group of the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform for Advanced Manufacturing at UT
- Chairman of the Board of the Graduate School Engineering Mechanics and local director
- Past-President of ESAFORM
- Acting chairman of the Board of the Netherlands Mechanical Engineering Council

Main Research Interest
- Numerical simulation of forming processes e.g. deepdrawing, incremental sheet forming, extrusion, rolling, cutting.
- Stability of plastic deformation and stability of material models in FEM analysis (including mesh dependency, localization and convergence).
- Optimization and robustness in forming processes.
- Object Oriented Programming (finite element programs, mesh generation programs). The C++ framework FeaTure for Finite Element programming and a collection of C++ tensor classes are freely available.
