Short Bio

Jan Hinrichsen studied mechanical engineering at the University of Stuttgart, where he received his bachelor’s degree in 2017. He continued his studies at the FAU and received his Master’s degree in 2020. During this time he also spent a semester abroad at the University of Tampere, Finland. Since 2021 he is pursuing his PhD and is employed as a research assistant at the Institute of Applied Mechanics and now at the Institute of Continuum Mechanics. His research focuses on mechanical modeling and simulation of human brain tissue. Specifically, he is working on material parameter identification from experiments conducted in our lab as well as modeling brain folding using finite element models.
When he is not in the office, he can be found exploring nature on his mountain bike or volunteering for the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW).
