R.J.M. Bol

Rowin obtained both his BSc and MSc degrees in Structural Engineering & Design at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in 2019 and 2022, respectively. He graduated in the Chair of Applied Mechanics (cum laude) with his thesis work “Multi-Scale Material Modelling: Application in Topology Optimization of Structures”, which was nominated as the best MSc Thesis of the Department of the Built Environment and won the Audience Award during the TU/e Academic Awards 2023.

Within the project “Auxetic Cementitious Composites through 3D Printing” or “ACC-3D” in short, Rowin performs numerical research on 3D printed (meta)materials, various interfaces and composite behaviour using the Delft lattice model in combination with a parameter-passing multi-scale modelling scheme. The research aims at creating novel, ductile cementitious composites in which the reinforcement actively restrains crack localization and improves the bond behaviour under loading.
