Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrank Wendler is an academic researcher and lecturer with nine years of focused experience in mesoscale materials modeling, specializing in phase-field methods for phase transitions, transport phenomena, and coupled solid–fluid–magnetic problems. As Akademischer Rat at FAU and a visiting scientist at Tohoku University, he bridges continuum modeling and atomistic input to study polycrystalline evolution, martensitic smart materials, and mineral solution crystallization with direct applications in structural geology. His work combines advanced numerical methods (finite element, Lattice Boltzmann) and high-performance software to simulate free-boundary problems, grain growth, THMC processes and permeability evolution in porous microstructures. He has led simulation groups at KIT and supervised cross-disciplinary projects that couple elasticity, micromagnetism and fluid flow, reflecting a rare blend of theory, computation and geoscience application. Notably, he applies mesoscale phase-field approaches to both functional materials (shape memory alloys) and geologic processes (calcite precipitation in hydrothermal systems), revealing common mechanistic insights across scales. Based in Mannheim, Germany, he pairs a strong crystallography and physics background (Dr. rer. nat., LMU/TUM) with practical leadership in scientific software development.
