Interdisciplinary exchange at the highest level at GAMM 2026
Once again this year, the WOT professorship attended the annual conference of GAMM, the Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics. From 16 to 20 March, an impressive overview of current developments in applied mathematics, mechanics and materials engineering was presented to 1,000 participants in over 800 specialist lectures at this year's venue, the University of Stuttgart.
The GAMM is the Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics and has been in existence since 1922. The society and its conferences regularly bring together experts from mathematics, mechanics, physics, engineering and computer science to discuss interdisciplinary problems of numerical modelling and simulation and current solutions.
The lectures and discussions covered purely mathematical topics such as numerical methods, multiscale modelling, PINNs or research software engineering, as well as more application-oriented problems in mechanics and materials engineering, such as modelling and simulation of metallic and non-metallic materials, fatigue, ageing, additive manufacturing, phase transitions, crystal plasticity or biomechanical modelling.
In Section 22 (Scientific Computing), WOT scientist Stephan Schwöbel presented an interdisciplinary contribution on solver design for simulation in electroplating and presented his doctoral thesis on the modelling and simulation of alloy depositions in an elevator pitch. In doing so, he ideally represented important key research areas of our professorship.
Many thanks to Tim Ricken, Oliver Röhrle, the GAMM Juniors and the University of Stuttgart for the excellent organisation and the inspiring scientific framework.
