Research Statement
Provided with a background in experimental physics, my team and me study fundamental properties of fluids in confined geometries, focusing on the stability of coatings and on the flow of liquids at small scales. A further research field of ours are biology-inspired systems, e.g. probing the adsorption of proteins or the adhesion of geckos. Clue to these diverse systems is the knowledge of the interacting forces which we gain using tailored surfaces.
