Prof. Dr. Raphael Wittkowski

Holder of the Chair for Theory of Active Soft Matter, Department of Physics, RWTH Aachen University
Research interest

With his research group, he investigates systems of active soft matter to explore their fundamental properties and develop important practical applications. Current research focuses include sound- or light-driven microrobots, acoustofluidics, microfluidics, computational fluid dynamics simulations, ultrasound, programmable and intelligent materials, 3D printing, and artificial neural networks, as well as their applications in medicine and engineering. The group's methodological focus lies in modeling, method development, computer simulations, and software development.
