* The 2020 TSK conference was cancelled due to the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic, but the abstracts were accepted and sent out to all participants.
** The 2020 4th International Conference on Rock Dynamics and Applications was postponed to 2021 due to the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic.
For my master’s thesis I investigated the coseismic pulverization of carbonate rocks, focusing on dynamic, high strain rate deformation.
Through my work as a student assistant at the split Hopkinson pressure bar at the University of Freiburg I have also contributed to several research projects investigating dynamic fragmentation.
During my geological project (basically a second bachelor’s thesis) I used white light interferometry to investigate the roughness of quasi-statically and dynamically produced fracture surfaces. Several evaluation methods were developed and compiled into a MATLAB library + script.
For my bachelor’s thesis I used analogue modelling to investigate how acoustic fluidization during the modification stage of impact cratering leads to a complex crater morphology.
