Dávid Huri certified mechanical engineer and simulation engineer is an assistant lecturer at the University of Debrecen Faculty of Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering and a participant in the Vehicle Modeling research team. He successfully (summa cum laude) defended his dissertation "Development of finite element simulation-based optimization of rubber bumper" in 2023, and his PhD was awarded in the field of IT Sciences (Doctoral School of Informatics, University of Debrecen). Teaching Mechanics, Finite Element Method, Integrated Design Systems and Engineering Optimization in both English and Hungarian, while taking part in the Talent Management Program of the University of Debrecen (DETEP). During my research work, I work on developing a novel optimization method suitable for solving structural optimization problems. The aim is to develop an automated system, that regardless of the behaviour of the objective function, can solve simulation-based optimization tasks without the need for human intervention. Artificial intelligence methods (simulated annealing, support vector regression) are integrated into the design process to accomplish the aforementioned objective. The investigation of hyperelastic material models suitable for describing the mechanical behaviour of elastomeric materials is another area of my research.
