Kurzvorstellung
Seit 2022 ist Prof. Merle Fachgebietsleiter für 'Mechanisches Verhalten von Werkstoffen' an der Universität Kassel. Zuvor leitete er die Gruppe Nanomechanik an der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), wo er zuletzt als Privatdozent tätig war. Seine wissenschaftliche Ausbildung erhielt er an der Ecole Centrale de Lyon in Frankreich (Ing.-Dipl. mit Auszeichnung im Jahr 2005) sowie an der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), wo er 2013 mit Auszeichnung promovierte. Als Ingenieur bei der Siemens AG sammelte er zwischenzeitlich wertvolle Industrieerfahrung. Seine internationale wissenschaftliche Laufbahn wurde durch Forschungsaufenthalte bei renommierten Wissenschaftlern wie Prof. George M. Pharr an der Texas A&M University und Prof. Daniel S. Gianola an der University of California, Santa Barbara weiter vertieft.
Prof. Merle leitet derzeit das von der EU geförderte ERC-Projekt 'NanoHighSpeed' sowie das COST-Netzwerk 'MecaNano'. Seine Forschungsarbeiten konzentrieren sich auf die Nanomechanik und Nanoindentierung, Bereiche, in denen er umfangreiche Expertise besitzt.
