YRN Third Webinar
"Variational phase-field modeling of cohesive fracture"
Speaker: Laura De Lorenzis, Professor and Deputy Head of the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich.
Short biography:
She received her PhD from the University of her hometown Lecce, Italy, where she first stayed as Associate Professor of Solid and structural mechanics. In 2013 she moved to the TU Braunschweig, Germany, as Professor and Director of the Institute of Applied Mechanics. There she was founding member and Chair (2017-​2020) of the Center for Mechanics, Uncertainty and Simulation in Engineering. Since 2020 she is Professor of Computational Mechanics at the ETH Zürich. She is the recipient of several prizes, including the RILEM L’Hermite Medal 2011, the AIMETA Junior Prize 2011, the IIFC Young Investigator Award 2012, two best paper awards and two student teaching prizes at the TU Braunschweig. In 2011 she was awarded a European Research Council Starting Researcher Grant. In 2022 she was elected Solid Mechanics Fellow of the European Mechanics Society (EUROMECH) "in recognition of her outstanding and influential contributions to computational solid mechanics including in particular phase-field approaches to fracture and fatigue, variational collocation methods, and data-driven mechanics". Since 2023 she is Editor of Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering.
