Timon Meier

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley, advised by Prof. Grigoropoulos. My research focuses on inverse metamaterial design, integrating automated 3D CAD modeling, computational simulations, and multi-objective optimization techniques for the data-driven design of architected materials across various applications. I employ additive manufacturing techniques to fabricate these optimized structures and develop experimental setups to characterize them at different length scales. My work bridges theoretical design and practical implementation by assessing the performance of optimized structures for real-world applications. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer and tennis to stay active. I am also passionate about traveling and hiking, always looking forward to exploring new places.
