The Dr. Klaus Körper Prize is awarded by the Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM) in recognition of excellent doctoral achievements in applied mathematics and mechanics and is supported by the Dr. Klaus Körper Foundation with prize money. One of the two prizes in mechanics, which were awarded at the GAMM annual conference in Poznan/Poland in April 2025, went to Dr.-Ing. Andreas Warkentin, a member of the Engineering Mechanics / Continuum Mechanics group, for his dissertation entitled "Integrated model framework for the constitutive description of coupled visco-ferroelectric dissipation and identification and analysis of circular processes for efficient energy conversion".

Dr. Johannes Scheel, former employee in the Department of Technical Mechanics/Continuum Mechanics, received the silver badge of honour from the German Association for Materials Research and Testing (DVM) "for outstanding technical and scientific achievements in the field of materials research and testing". The award ceremony took place as part of the annual conference of the Fracture Mechanics and Component Safety Working Group on February 20, 2024 in Kassel.

After Andreas Warkentin, research associate in the Department of Engineering Mechanics/Continuum Mechanics, was appointed a GAMM Junior by the Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM) in 2022, he has held the office of Chairman of the GAMM Juniors since 01.01.2024 and, as such, represents the interests of excellent young scientists from the fields of applied mathematics and mechanics.
