Biographical Sketch
Martin Tritthart was born in Graz, Austria, in 1999. After graduating from high school in Reutte in 2017 with a focus on natural sciences, he returned to Graz after completing his civilian service at Salzkammergut Clinic Bad Ischl to study physics at Graz University of Technology. In April 2022, he completed his B.Sc. degree in Technical Physics at the Institute of Materials Physics. His Bachelor’s thesis dealt with the recycling of lithium-ion batteries. In October 2025, he earned his M.Sc. degree in Physics from the Institute of Solid State Physics. In his Master’s thesis, supervised by Egbert Zojer, he investigated active machine learning methods for improving interatomic potentials used in molecular dynamics simulations of structurally complex materials. During his studies, he worked as a student assistant, supporting courses such as Linear Algebra and Programming in Physics. He is currently a Project Assistant at the Institute of Biomechanics at Graz University of Technology, where he is pursuing his Ph.D. under the supervision of Gerhard A. Holzapfel and Theresa Rienmüller. His research focuses on the simulation and experimental characterization of the mechanical and electrical properties of 3D scaffolds used as extracellular matrices. His other scientific interests include biophysics, physical analysis, and statistical analysis.
