Short Bio

Nina Reiter studied Mechanical Engineering at FAU, where she received her Master’s degree in 2020. During her Bachelor studies, she spent a semester abroad at the University of Cádiz, Spain. As a part of her Master studies, Nina participated in a summer school on sustainable tourism and coral reef restoration at the University of Denpasar, Indonesia. Since 2020, she is pursuing her PhD in the Emmy-Noether research group “BRAINIACS – Brain Mechanics Across Scales”. Her research focuses on developing a constitutive model for brain tissue that is based on the tissue’s microstructural composition.
Nina was elected as a member of the GAMM Juniors – the GAMM’s council of young researchers – for the years 2022-2024 and as the speaker of the GAMM Juniors for the year 2023. Since 2023, she is also an associate member of the CRC 1540 “Exploring Brain Mechanics”.
Nina’s areas of interest include brain microstructure, mechanical testing of soft tissues, and viscoelastic modeling. When she’s not in the lab, Nina likes to spend time in front of her aquarium or to go swimming, dancing, or bouldering.
