Vice President: Dieter Pahr

TU-Wien

Institute of Lightweight Design and Structural Biomechanics

Austria

Dieter Pahr studied mechanical engineering at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and received his doctorate in the field of lightweight design and aerospace engineering in 2003 working mainly with composite materials. In 2006 he joined the group of Prof. Philippe Zysset at the TU-Wien where he habilitated in 2008. Over the years he was awarded an Assistant and Associate Professor in Computational Biomechanics at TU Wien. In 2016, he was promoted to a full professor in Musculoskeletal Biomechanics at the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences in Krems. In 2021, he was also promoted to a full professor in Computational Biomechanics at TU Wien. The main focus is computational biomechanics (CT-based FEA, medical imaging, software development) and partly experimental biomechanics (mechanical testing of biological tissues, 3D printing). He published more than 160 papers in peer-reviewed international journals.
