Marion Merklein
Marion Merklein (born 1973)[1] is a German metallurgist who studies metal forming, including stamping and additive manufacturing. She is a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg, where she heads the Institute of Manufacturing Technology.[2]
Education and career
Merklein earned a diploma (the German equivalent of a master's degree) in material science in 1997 from the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg, and continued at the same university for a doctorate in mechanical engineering, through the university's Institute of Manufacturing Technology, which she completed in 2001. Her dissertation concerned the use of lasers in the additive manufacturing of aluminum alloys.[1]
From 2001 to 2008 she worked as a senior manager in the Institute of Manufacturing Technology, on sheet metal forming, earning a habilitation in 2006. In 2008 she took a professorship in the institute, serving as dean of engineering from 2011 to 2015.[1]
Recognition
Merklein was a 2004 recipient of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Preis and a 2013 recipient of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize.[1] With Jürgen Lechler, she was a 2008 recipient of the SAE/AISI Sydney H. Melbourne Award for Excellence in the Advancement of Automotive Sheet Steel.[3]
In 2015, she was elected to the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina[4] and to the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.[5] She is also a member of acatech, the German Academy of Science and Engineering,[6] and a Fellow of the International Academy for Production Engineering.[7]
She received the Bavarian Order of Merit in 2018.[8]
