Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Germany
Managing Director, Scientific member / Director of the Laboratory for Fluid Physics, Pattern Formation and Biocomplexity (LFPB)
The lab’s aim is to focus on the physics of dynamics and self-organisation in nature, with special attention to Bottom-up Synthetic Biology, Bioengineering and Medical Physics, Physical Biodynamics, the Physics of Clouds and Atmospheres, and Turbulence. Current topics include synthetic engineering of bio-synthetic cilia, electrical turbulence and the soft mechanics of muscle contraction in the heart, cilia-based directed transport networks in the ventricles of the mammalian brain, and understanding fully developed turbulent flows.
