Stefanie Elgeti is an engaged member of the computational science and engineering community, contributing not only to research in the field of numerical analysis and design, but also through active participation in committees and journal work. She holds the position of full professor at TU Wien, the Vienna University of Technology, in Austria, where she leads the research area of lightweight design. In her research, she combines numerical analysis of components and their manufacturing processes – specifically space-time finite element methods and isogeometric analysis –  with numerical design –  particularly shape and topology optimization. Recently, she has grown interested in mixed-initiative design approaches, where a human interacts with a generative AI to produce novel designs. Stefanie Elgeti formerly chaired the ECCOMAS Young Investigators Committee and co-chaired the GAMM Juniors. She serves as a member of the editorial board for both the International Journal Engineering with Computers (EWCO) and Advances in Computational Science and Engineering (ACSE). Additionally, she heads the scientific advisory board of the Austrian Center for Digital Production. In 2020, she was the recipient of the ECCOMAS Olgierd Cecil Zienkiewicz Young Investigators award.
