Dirk Lehmhus studied mechanical engineering at the University of Hanover, Germany, and wrote his final thesis at Volkswagen’s central lab in Wolfsburg, Germany, on the galvanic corrosion of cast magnesium components in contact with aluminum and steel fasteners. Since finishing his studies in 1998, he has been working at Fraunhofer IFAM in powder and casting technology, during which time he completed his doctorate at the University of Bremen’s Faculty of Production Technology in the field of metallic foams. During an interim period from 2009 to 2017, he coordinated the activities of a virtual institute on material-integrated intelligent systems at the University of Bremen as managing director, before returning to Fraunhofer IFAM in 2018. His publication list includes about 70 peer-reviewed contributions in scientific journals and conference proceedings, several book chapters, and currently, 3 patents. In addition, he is the editor of two books on "Advanced Materials for Transport Applications" and "Material-integrated Intelligent Systems", and he is a member of the editorial board of the journals "Metals" and "Materials" (MDPI). At Fraunhofer IFAM, he is involved in the initiation and management of projects in the areas of sand casting, investment casting, and low- and high-pressure die casting, with a certain focus on the latter process. He is also particularly interested in issues relating to materials and process simulation and digitalization in the foundry industry.
