Institute of Continuum Mechanics and Biomechanics
The Institute of Continuum Mechanics and Biomechanics (LKM) engages enthusiatic researchers working on a wide range of scientific topics that apply experimental and computational mechanics to tackle various interdisciplinary research questions including mechanics of living tissues, biomaterials, and 3D printing. Through the combination of experiments, continuum mechanics modeling, and simulation, we strive to improve our understanding of the mechanical behavior of biological structures and to find innovative solutions at the interfaces of engineering, medicine and biological sciences.
In April 2025, Oskar Neumann had the opportunity to spend a month in the Mechanobiology Lab of Prof. Thomas Franz at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. During his stay, he trained a postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Majah'onkhe Shabangu, in experimenting with the Chiaro Nanoindenter (Optics11 Lif...

The conference brought together leading researchers from across Europe to share their latest advancements in applied mathematics and mechanics in ...
We teamed up with the group of Tim Ricken from the Institute of Structural Mechanics and Dynamics in Aerospace Engineering at University of Stuttgart for an exciting workshop in Zell am See!
Poster sessions and presentations set the stage for fruitful discussions on current developments in biomec...
We’re excited to share highlights from the opening tour of our new Biomechanics lab in Uferstadt Fürth! It was a pleasure to welcome our colleagues and neighbors as we presented the lab, its purpose, and potential.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us and those who have made this possible —w...
This past week at the 2024 Evolution and Development of Nervous Systems conference, held at the University of Zadar, Croatia, was truly inspiring. The conference, set against the backdrop of a beautiful venue, offered a brief but memorable pause to appreciate the stunning sunset, a fitting reminder ...
