“The technical man must not be lost in his own technology; he must be able to appreciate life, and life is art, drama, music, and most importantly, people.” ― Fazlur Khan
Matthew Troemner, PhD
Matthew Troemner is a Partner at North Fracture and an engineering mechanics scientist focused on computational simulation, structural and mechanical response, material failure, and custom technical software.
His work connects materials and structural engineering with physics-based modeling, numerical simulation, and automation tools to develop practical, defensible solutions for research and applied engineering projects. His recent work has focused heavily on computational methods for space and lunar applications, including laser-material interactions, regolith melting and consolidation, extreme thermal and vacuum environments, and dynamic impact response.
Matthew has extensive experience building and deploying simulation workflows across Python, C++, Fortran, commercial FEA tools, OpenFOAM-based methods, and high-performance computing environments. His background spans multi-physics modeling, material failure and dynamics, digital-twin-style calibration and validation, additive manufacturing, and advanced infrastructure and space-related systems.
