Andres Kecskemethy graduated from the University of Stuttgart in Mechanical Engineering in 1984 and received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Duisburg in 1993.
From 1994 to 1995, he stayed as a senior guest researcher at the Centre for Intelligent Machines at McGill University with a fellowship from the German Research Foundation (DFG). In 1996, Dr. Kecskemethy was appointed Professor at the Technical University of Graz, where he held the Chair for Mechanics until 2002. In 2002, Professor Kecskeméthy moved to the University of Duisburg-Essen, where he holds the Chair for Mechanics and Robotics at the Institute of Mechatronics and System Dynamics. He is currently Editor-In-Chief of the Journal Mechanism and Machine Theory and was the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering of the University Duisburg-Essen in the period 2003 – 2006.
His memberships include the German Engineering Association VDI and the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science. Professor Kecskeméthy has worked in the areas of kinematics and dynamics of multibody systems, covering topics such as modelling of mechatronical systems and vehicle dynamics, as well as the design and simulation of legged vehicles and robotic systems.
In this setting, he has developed the object-oriented multibody library «Mobile» the symbolic package SYMKIN for generation of closed-form kinematics and dynamics equations for complex mechanisms. His current research interests lie in the areas of biomechanics and computer-based surgery planning, virtual reality and heavy-weight robotics. He is author of more than 120 proceedings and journal papers.
