Detlef Lohse, University of Twente
Detlef Lohse studied physics at the Universities of Kiel & Bonn (Germany), and got his PhD at Univ. of Marburg (1992). He then joined Univ. of Chicago as postdoc. After his habilitation (Marburg, 1997), in 1998 he became Chair at Univ. of Twente in the Netherlands and built up the Physics of Fluids group. Since 2015 he is also Member of the Max Planck Society and of the Max-Planck Institute in Göttingen.
Lohse's present research interests include turbulence and multiphase flow and micro- and nanofluidics (bubbles, drops, inkjet printing, wetting). He does both fundamental and more applied science and combines experimental, theoretical, and numerical methods.
