Biography: Sandra
Klinge is a Full Professor and Head of the Chair of Structural and
Computational Mechanics at the Department of Transport and Mechanical Systems,
TU Berlin. She earned her doctorate and habilitation at Ruhr University Bochum,
where she was a DAAD scholarship holder in the international Computational
Engineering Master’s program. Before joining TU Berlin in 2021, she served as
Junior Professor of Computational Engineering at TU Dortmund, where she
established her own research group. Her research focuses on numerical methods
for simulating composites particularly multiscale finite element methods for
direct and inverse problems, with applications in biomechanics, polymers and
metally. She is involved in the development of advanced methods such as
statistical homogenization, isogeometric analysis, and machine learning.
Professor Klinge has extensive international collaborations and is the author
of a monograph on the application of homogenization theory to mineralized
tissue. Her
work bridges applied mathematics, engineering, and computational science.
