Biography
Andrew Gryguć is a Assistant Professor (Teaching Stream) in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo. He has over a decade of experience in the field of solid mechanics, structural analysis and finite element modelling. His research interests include, fatigue and fracture, cyclic plasticity modelling, and energy based damage models for a variety of different materials. Furthermore, he has pioneered the understanding of the process-structure- property-performance relationship for forging of HCP materials, in particular, Mg alloys. Andrew has also spent almost a decade in the automotive industry as a structural analyst focusing on non-linear FE modelling, for structural, NVH, crash and durability objectives. Furthermore, he leverages his industrial experience to enhance his research program and teaching curriculum at both an undergrad and graduate level. In 2018 Andrew was the recipient of the Toyota Automotive Safety Award.
