from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz-Josef Ulm (* 1964 ) is a German engineering scientist who is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Life

Ulm studied at the Technical University of Munich , where he obtained his degree in civil engineering in 1990. In 1994 he received his doctorate from the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (ENPC) in Paris. In 1998 he completed his habilitation at the École normal supérieure de Cachan .

Among other things, he deals with poromechanics and the structure of porous media on the nano and micrometer scale, for example in concrete, in biology (bones, shells) and geotechnics (rock mechanics), and with mechanisms that affect the durability of materials influence.
