Anne Geppert

Anne Geppert is a Researcher at the Institute of Aerospace Thermodynamics at the University of Stuttgart, where she also serves as the Equal Opportunity Officer. Her work focuses on droplet impact dynamics, fluid-structure interactions, and multiphase flow phenomena, with applications in aerospace engineering, medical nebulization, and material science.

Her research employs advanced experimental techniques such as micro-PIV and high-speed imaging, alongside numerical simulations, to study droplet-wall interactions, crown formation, and aerosol generation. She leads the International Research Training Group GRK 2160/2 (DROPIT), a collaborative initiative exploring droplet interaction technologies.

Key research areas include:

• Thermocapillary effects in droplet impacts
• Viscosity and surface wettability influences on droplet behavior
• Geometric effects of microstructured surfaces on splashing dynamics
• Development of analytical models for crown spreading and film thickness evolution

Her recent work investigates droplet interactions with thixotropic liquids, vibrating mesh nebulization systems, and novel aerosol formation mechanisms. She has contributed to over 30 peer-reviewed articles since 2013, advancing the understanding of droplet-wall film interactions and their industrial applications.
