Majd Tabib, M. Sc.

Majd was born and raised in Jordan. He obtained his Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at Albalqa'a Applied University in Amman. After working as a civil engineer for a year, he decided to continue his studies in Germany. At RWTH Aachen University, he obtained a Master's degree in Advanced Computational Mechanics in Civil Engineering.

He continued his career in computational mechanics by joining the Institute of Mechanics and Shell Structures at TU Dresden, where he worked on phase field damage modeling under the supervision of Prof. Stefan Löhnert. One year later, Majd joined Prof. Jaan-Willem Simon at the Institute of Computational Applied Mechanics. He is interested in the research areas of continuum mechanics and finite element analysis. Currently, he is working with thermoplastics, for which he is developing a thermodynamically consistent model to represent the bulk material under isothermal conditions. This model captures the damage behavior using a gradient-enhanced, micromorphic approach and embeds it into multiscale methods.
