Do you want to be part of our team? we always have projects for bachelor, master projects or internships, with many agreements with other universities around the globe. Contact Alvaro for more info.

Scientist, more concretely Associate Professor in the chair of Physics of Fluids.

University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands.

Peik is looking at how macarroni flows

Lieke is looking for micro and nanoplastics in our labs

Tommie will be working in his PhD on fragmentation of respiratory-like liquids and lifting our swimming record in the Batavieren race.

After an internship at Cambridge University, Hester is currently doing her master assignment on capillary flows through microstructured porous materials.

When he’s not out cycling, he’s in our labs working on his master thesis with our cough machine.

Pepijn just finished his bachelor thesis analysing the morphology of artificial saliva droplets.

After an internship in Tokyo with the great Sensei Tagawa, Eline is working on her master project in our labs.

Raph worked as a postdoc on our ERC Proof of Concept grant “NanoPlastBalls” until the end of 2024.

Yongchen did his bachelor at UTSC and came for an internship in our labs, working on spontaneous flow transitions in evaporating drops.

Sebastien finished his bachelor at ENS Paris and just did his internship in our labs, with an excellent job on spontaneous flow transitions in evaporating drops. Bonne chance Sebas!

David finished his bachelor assignment on our alcoholic drop project, I will show part of his work at the APS-DFD 2024 in Salt Lake City!

Joost did his bachelor assignment on a cool but challenging project with Maurice Mikkers, founder of the Centrifuge Camera YouTube Channel.

Edgar ran numerical experiments on clogging of dense suspensions, in collaboration with Mathieu Souzy, Devaraj van der Meer and Stefan Luding using MercuryDPM.

Hardcore board game player, Mathieu has become with us a world expert on the clogging of suspensions. He is a frequent visitor and collaborator.

Eva made her master assignment with us on evaporation of graphene oxide solutions (2022-2023), in close collaboration with our friends at Botto’s group in TU Delft.

Recognisable by his Grolsch (water) bottle and his loud laughs, Javi works normally at University Carlos III in Madrid but he spent a sabbatical in Enschede working in our labs on evaporation of respiratory-like droplets.

Dedicated birdwatcher and color dreamer, Carola defended her PhD on evaporation of colloidal suspension droplets, winner of a beautiful gallery of Fluid motion, and still working with us on more stuff.plets.

Meltem was an undergraduate student working on a cool project evaporating graphene droplets, in collaboration with our friends in TU Delft from Botto’s group.

A real athlete in our team, Sven was an undergraduate student working on football as a confined system of active agents.

Postdoc with us from 2016 to 2020, now Professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) in China.

Among many amazing stuff, Myrthe figured out how to turn droplets into bubbles…:o She finished her PhD with the thesis: “Confined and Colloidal Droplets” on January 2021.

Graduated with the bachelor thesis: “Analysis of an Artificial Intelligence Football algorithm via Lagrangian and Eulerian Flow Statistics” on July 2021.

Graduated with the master thesis: “Marangoni Bursting of Colloidal Mixtures” on November 2020.

Graduated with the Master Thesis: “Colloidal aggregation in evaporating salty sessile droplets” on November 2018. which ended in this beautiful paper, which got the editor’s suggestion.
