Biography

Andreas Zilian joined the University of Luxembourg in 2011 as Professor in Engineering Sciences with focus on Mechanics and Structural Analysis. Based on rich experience as Assistant Professor of Fluid-Structure Interaction and Director of the interdisciplinary and inter-faculty Master Programme on Computational Sciences in Engineering at Technische Universität Braunschweig, he built up the engineering research area of Structural Analysis and Multiphysics Modelling and Simulation within the Department of Engineering at the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine. Since 2012 he promotes Computational Sciences as an interdisciplinary theme at the University of Luxembourg, outreaching to national public research institutions and industrial partners. Complementing research and graduate/doctoral teaching activities in Computational Mechanics, he organised several conferences, workshops and mini-symposia. Principal investigator in several third-party funded projects at the national, European and international scale. Regular evaluator for national research funding and teaching programme accreditation agencies, reviewer for several leading scientific journals.
