Guest professor


Assoc.Prof. Alejandro Martinez will visit IGT in January 2024, and give lectures on the principles of bio-inspired design with a focus on geotechnical engineering and infrastructure (LV 873020). You are warmly welcome to participate.

The course 873020 "Bio-inspired geo-engineering and applications (in Eng.)" will cover the principles of bio-inspired design with a focus on geotechnical engineering and infrastructure. The topics include an introduction to relevant biological concepts, bio-inspired design theory, translation of biological strategies to solve engineering problems, methods to address spatial and temporal scale differences, and development of a bio-inspired solution in geotechnics. This one week-course will culminate in a design project that the students will develop and present in class. 

Date: 9th-12th January, 2024

Place: Seminar room 02 (GUTH-SR 02), Guttenberghaus, Feistmantelstrasse 4, 1180 Vienna
