Paul Steinmann is Professor for Mechanics at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Germany, where he heads the Institute of Applied Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering within FAU’s Faculty of Engineering. He is also Director of the Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre (GCEC) in the School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow, UK. His research interests include nonlinear continuum mechanics, material modelling, coupled and multiscale problems and corresponding computational methods both for engineering as well as for biomechanical applications. Kenneth Runesson is Professor Emeritus of Material and Structural Mechanics at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. His research interests include the computational modelling of coupled problems for porous media including inelasticity, damage and fracture. A trademark is control of discretization and modelling errors via space-time adaptivity.Computational homogenization and scale-bridging strategies are another major research field.
