Short CV
Holger got his Dr.-ing. in 2002 from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, where he worked for one additional years as a postdoc in the SFB 404 at the Institute of Mechanics. In 2002 he joined the Saarland University, Germany, where he worked as a researcher and lecturer. In 2008 he obtained his habilitation im "Mechanics" (venia legendi) from the Saarland University. In 2008, he joined the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands as an Assistant Professor for Multi Scale Mechanics. In 2009, he moved to the Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, working as a full Professor of Continuum Mechanics. Since 2016, Holger is Professor for Continuum Mechanics at the University of Stuttgart, Germany in the faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and fellow of the Stuttgart Centre for Simulation Sciences (SimTech). Since 2023 he is the director of the Stuttgart Center for Simulation Science (SC SimTech) and since 2024 Spokesperson of the Collaborative Research Center CRC 1313 "Interface-Driven Multi-Field Processes in Porous Media – Flow, Transport and Deformation".
Holgers' research interests are about continuum mechanics, multi-scale mechanics and coupled problems in porous media, which he studies theoretically numerically and experimentally. Holger is editor of the Springer book series Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics - AGEM2 (Go to article) and member of the Editorial Board of the Scientific Journals "Applied and Computational Mechanics" (since 2014), "GAMM Mitteilungen" (since 2019), "Frontiers in Materials" (since 2022), and "Scientific Reports" (since 2022).
