Biography

Bram Lagerweij is a PhD candidate that works on novel numerical tools to predict deformations of solid mechanics. These tools to predict structural behavior and complicated fracture processes that the traditional tools, such as FEM, fail to accurately capture. In the past he has worked on structural optimization algorithms for fatigue resistant and reliable structures by fatigue crack growth life maximization.
