Dr.-Ing. Navid Pour-Moghaddam studied Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt. From 2011 to 2014 he was a project engineer at Werner Sobek Frankfurt with focus on structural engineering. Between 2014 and 2019 he earned his doctorate at the Institute of Structural Mechanics and Design (Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens Schneider) in the field of glass construction. Since 2019 he has been working for Schüssler-Plan Frankfurt in the field of constructive engineering. He is a member of the Architects and Engineers Association of the City of Frankfurt.

• Introduction.- Glass Properties and Refinement Processes.- Numerical Simulation of the Thermal Tempering Process.- Experimental Investigations into the Fragmentation of Tempered Glass.- Prediction of 2D Macro-Scale Fragmentation of Tempered Glass.- Investigations into the Phenomenon of Crack Branching.- Summary and Outlook.
