Nils Meyer
Assistant Professor at University of Augsburg
Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNils Meyer is an assistant professor specializing in data-driven product engineering and design, with eight years of experience developing advanced computer simulations for composite manufacturing. He holds a summa cum laude doctorate in mechanical engineering from KIT and has a strong track record in mesoscale simulation techniques for co-molding SMC, microfluidic fiber-suspension modeling, and homogenized battery modeling from international research stints. His work focuses on linking mold-filling and structural simulations to optimize expensive tooling and material behavior, translating complex physics into practical CAE workflows. Known for bridging academia and industry, he has applied his simulation tooling at Audi and in lightweight design labs, reducing design risk and cost. Colleagues describe him as methodical and curious—equally at home implementing numerical algorithms and shaping data-driven design strategies.
