Nick Jaensson

Nick Jaensson is an Assistant Professor in the Processing and Performance of Materials group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research focuses on the development and application of numerical methods for soft materials (also known as complex fluids). Examples of these materials are suspensions, emulsions and polymeric liquids, and they are encountered all around us in everyday life, as well as in many industrial applications. Using advanced numerical methods, and often working with experimental collaborators, Jaensson gains fundamental insights into the flow and transport processes within these materials, and how these are connected to their microstructure. In collaboration with companies, Jaensson works on applying these insights and methods for the design and optimization of industrial processes, ranging from microfluidics to large-scale material processing. Among his current research interests are (interfacial) rheology, non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, uncertainty quantification and physics-informed machine learning.

Advanced computational modeling is crucial for the efficient design and optimization of industrial processes involving soft materials, ranging from microfluidics to large-scale material processing.
