dr.ir. V.T. Meinders (Timo)

I studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Twente, and hold a PhD in Nonlinear Solid Mechanics. My main research expertise is in the field of finite element simulation of sheet metal forming processes; i.e. development of advanced numerical algorithms, material modeling, springback, anisotropic damage and multi-scale friction modeling.

Currently, I am director Business Development at the faculty of Engineering Technology and I coordinate the Professional Doctorate in Engineering programme at the University of Twente.

I am actively involved in Industry 4.0/Smart Industry related topics, such as Advanced Manufacturing, Additive Manufacturing and Digital Twins. I am active in the Smart Industry network at European level (EFFRA), national level (NWA, HTSM) and regional level (BOOST, Camino). At the University of Twente I have a broad network of researchers that work at Smart Industry topics (Supply chain, Production Management, Advanced Manufacturing, Sensor Technology, Digital Twinning, Virtual Reality, Product life cycle management, business modeling etc)

If you are looking for collaboration with the UT in the field of Smart Industry, do not hesitate to contact me!

View profile

I teached several courses on nonlinear solid mechanics and Finite Element Analysis, on Bachelor ,Masters and Postmaster level.

Currently I am the coordinator of the PDEng programmes at the University of Twente.

The Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) is a 2-year post-master technological design programme that combines academic research in an industrial context with taught modules in a range of related subjects. A challenging and innovative technological design project, defined by and carried out at the client, is the focal point of the programme. The education part at the UT has both a broadening and in-depth character, with ample attention for professional development. The trainee will be educated as a specialist capable to solve the stated design problem. After successful completion of the programme, the trainee receives the certified degree PDEng.
