Bernard Geurts

Bernard Geurts is a Part-time Full Professor at the Department of Applied Physics and Science Education at Eindhoven University of Technology. He is affiliated with the Soft Matter and Biological Physics research group, focusing on computational modeling of thermal and fluid dynamics.

• Research areas: Thermal conductivity in nanocomposites, atmospheric planetary flow, and turbulent combustion modeling.

Research Trends: His recent publications emphasize numerical accuracy in simulating heat transfer in graphene-coated materials, Kapitza resistance reduction via molecular functionalization, and advanced methods for turbulent combustion. The work also includes geometrically consistent modeling of planetary atmospheric dynamics using Lie-Poisson truncations.

Grants & Collaborations: Funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) through the Open Technology Program (project 18052) and supported by SURF Cooperative for computational infrastructure.
