BIOGRAPHY

Mr. Andreas Hermanutz graduated with a Bachelor and Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering at Technical University of Munich. After his graduation he started working as a Research Associate at the Institute of Lightweight Structures and later at the Institute of Aircraft Design. His research focuses on topics concerning aerospace structures, in particular on various aspects of the aeroelastic design of highly flexible wing structures. This includes research work on advanced simulation models that allow reliable predictions in the structural design process for UAVs as well as civil transport aircraft.
