Room: HD.02.22

In her research, Greta is focusing on modeling the microstructure of paper as realistically as possible. Her work includes simulating fiber networks that are representative of paper. The goal of her research project is to integrate the fiber networks into the FE² concept within the framework of numerical homogenization.

Greta completed her bachelor and master studies in Civil Engineering with the specialization Constructive Engineering at RWTH Aachen University. During her studies, she spent a semester at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg (Sweden). Greta has started her PhD at RWTH Aachen University under Prof. Jaan-Willem Simon in February 2020, and has followed his call to the University of Wuppertal in WS22/23 as well.
