On April 30, 2025, Dr. Oliver Boolakee successfully defended his PhD thesis on "Lattice Boltzmann for Solids" at ETH Zürich. In his groundbreaking thesis, he proposed new second-order accurate lattice Boltzmann formulations for linear elasticity, considering both static and dynamic problem formulations. PD Dr. Mathias J. Krause, heading the LBRG at KIT, served as a co-examiner in the doctoral committee alongside Prof. Dr. Laura de Lorenzis (ETH Zürich), Prof. Dr. Barbara Wohlmuth (TU Munich), Prof. Dr. Martin Geier (TU Braunschweit) and Prof. Dr. Ralf Müller (TU Darmstadt).
