For more see the link Prof. Ernst Rank
Director, Institute for Advanced Study
Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany
Academic Career and Research Areas:
Professor Rank conducts research into numerical mechanics and building informatics. Key areas of his research include high-order finite element methods, immersed boundary methods, and combining numerical computation with geometric modeling. His work is aimed at developing effective and intuitively usable simulation methods, which can be used to optimize industrial products and processes. Professor Rank studied mathematics and physics at LMU Munich and completed his doctorate at TUM in 1985. With the support of a research grant, he was then able to work in the USA until 1986. After a period of work in industry at Siemens AG, he took up a professorship first at TU Dortmund and later, in 1997, at TUM. Professor Rank served as Vice President for Research at TUM from 2002 to 2008, was Founding Director of the TUM International Graduate School of Science and Engineering from 2006 to 2016, and was Director of the TUM Graduate School from 2008 to 2013. He has been Chairman of the University Council of TU Dortmund since 2007 and Director of the TUM Institute for Advanced Study (TUM-IAS) since 2015.
