Asiye Dogan

Asiye Dogan is a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Freiburg, affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Microsystems Engineering. She holds the Agnes Pockels Fellow Recipient 2023 award. Her research focuses on biomimetic materials systems inspired by natural surface restoration mechanisms, such as the shedding of damaged layers in organisms like snakes and lizards.

Her current project involves developing a parquet-like material system with superhydrophobic layers and sacrificial components to enable localized, controlled surface renewal. This work integrates principles from materials science, microsystems engineering, and biomimicry to create adaptive, self-restoring materials.

• Key Research Themes: Self-healing materials, adaptive surface engineering, superhydrophobicity, sacrificial layer design
• Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Jürgen Rühe

Her research bridges fundamental material science with applied engineering, aiming to create durable and repairable synthetic systems modeled after biological strategies.
