DESCRIPTION:The ɬÀï·¬ Department of Bioresource Engineering invites studen
 ts and faculty to join Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) Profes
 sor Robert Eberlein for a seminar introducing the current R&D competences 
 of the Institute of Mechanical Systems (IMES) at ZHAW. IMES comprises thre
 e major research focus areas: Biomechanical Engineering\, Lightweight Desi
 gn and Materials for Modeling. After a short introduction of ZHAW and its 
 related business model\, each IMES research focus area will be presented i
 n detail. Strategic initiatives per focus area will be addressed and relat
 ed research projects prove their applicability. As will be demonstrated\, 
 IMES projects do almost always involve industrial partners\, ranging from 
 small SMEs to international corporations. Research projects do very often 
 also show an interdisciplinary scope\, which is accomplished in cooperatio
 n with partner institutes and universities on national and international l
 evel. Eventually\, bilateral project financing opportunities with Canada w
 ill be outlined.\n\nSession Chair: Prof. Hamid Akbarzadeh\n\nAbout the spe
 aker\n\nRobert Eberlein received a PhD degree (Dr.-Ing.) from Darmstadt Un
 iversity of Technology (Germany) in 1997\, after a student exchange at Uni
 versity of California in Berkeley\, CA\, USA. His research activities were
  devoted to finite element modeling\, lightweight design\, and biomechanic
 al engineering. After finishing his PhD\, he joined various positions in i
 ndustry for about 15 years\, where he gathered in-depth managerial experie
 nce as CTO and member of the group executive committee at Angst & Pfister\
 , Zurich\, Switzerland. In 2013 Robert Eberlein joined ZHAW as senior lect
 urer and became director of the Institute of Mechanical Systems (IMES) in 
 2017. Over the years he published various scientific papers and book chapt
 ers in the fields of biomechanics\, finite element modeling of nonlinear m
 aterials and lightweight structures. He has been invited to deliver lectur
 es in many international conferences and is a frequent referee in scientif
 ic journals. Currently he manages about 40 pax scientific staff at IMES.\n
