Britta Nestler
Britta Nestler (born February 8, 1972 in Aachen ) is a German mathematician who conducts research in materials science. She is a computer science professor at the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology as well as the head of the Institute of Materials and Processes (IMP).
research
Nestler completed her dissertation at RWTH Aachen University in 2000 with the title phase field modeling of multiphase solidification .
Since 2001 she has been a professor at the Faculty of Computer Science at the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, where she was founding director of the Institute of Materials and Processes in 2008. Since 2010 she has also been professor for microstructure simulation in materials technology at KIT.
The Institute for Digital Materials Research, which she directs, focuses on the development of new modeling and simulation techniques for use in computer-aided materials science and for the optimization of production technology concepts. With the PACE3D software, computer-aided simulations are carried out with the phase field.
In 2017 she received the Leibniz Prize for her "research work in computer-aided materials research and the development of new material models with multiscale and multiphysics approaches". The basis for this are "quantitative models for the description of multi-component systems with which a new quality of the microstructure representation can be achieved in the thermomechanical simulation of materials or also in the simulation of solidification processes and thus the processes can be reproduced for the first time through realistic 3-D simulation".
