Josua Grawitter, MSc

I am a doctoral student at IRTG 1524 working with Prof. Dr. Holger Stark. Here, I study photoresponsive fluid interfaces based on switchable surfactants and substrates. Previously, I have worked on colloidal dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) for active particles. Find me on Twitter, Github, arXiv.org, and ORCiD. My current research interests are:

• photoresponsive surfactants, light-driven microfluidic devices
• nonlocal diffusion-advection-reaction equations
• control methods for soft matter systems; feedback control
• boundary element method for creeping flow with moving boundaries
