From 1997-2014 he was teaching and conducting research at the Institute for Technical Mechanics at JKU headed by Prof. Hans Irschik; first as an Assistant Professor, then as an Associate Professor. He spent one year (2002/2003) as a MAX-KADE fellow of the Austrian Academy of Sciences at the Pennsylvania State University. From 2014-2020 he was a Full Professor for Mechanics of Solids at the Institute of Mechanics and Mechatronics at TU-Vienna. In 2020 he returned to JKU Linz succeeding Prof. Hans Irschik as Full Professor for Technical Mechanics and he joined the Symbiotic Mechatronics research center in Linz as the scientific head of the research area „Mechanics and Control“. He is the author and co-author of more than 130 publications in the field of Technical Mechanics. From 2016-2020, he also served as one of the Editors of the international journal “Acta Mechanica“ published by Springer.Valerii P. Matveenko got Doctoral degree majoring in “Solid Mechanics“ in 1987. In 1997 he became the corresponding member of Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) and in 2003 he was elected to be the full member of RAS. He is a a member of the European Academy of Sciences. Currently he is Scientific Director of the Perm Federal Researcher Center Ural Branch of RAS, Director of Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics UB RAS, Head of “The Department for Dynamics and Strength of Machines” in Perm National Research Polytechnic University. From 2012 to 2020, he was a member of Congress Committee of the International Union for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM). He serves as Editor of the international journal “Advansed Mechanics and Modern Processes“ published by Springer, as Editor of national journal “Computational Continuum Mechanics” and as Editorial board member of 7 academic journals.
