Autorentext

Dr Marcin Hojny is a researcher and lecturer at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow, Poland, where he lectures on concurrent design systems as well as numerical methods and simulations. He is the author of the continuously developed DEFFEM simulation package as a development aid intended for use with modern Gleeble series research workstations. His scientific interests include the practical use of physical and computer simulations within the context of new technology development aids, mainly for the aviation and automotive industries. In particular, his work explores the modelling of processes and phenomena occurring at temperatures exceeding those seen in classic hot forming processing. He is the author of over 100 articles, including 16 from the Journal Citation Report (JCR) list, as well as two published books.
