Daniel Weiss

Prof. Dr. Daniel Weiss is a Lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW), affiliated with the Institute of Thermal and Fluid Engineering within the FHNW School of Engineering and Environment. He is responsible for the Energy and Environment profile in the Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) program. His teaching focuses on advanced simulation, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), fluid mechanics, and student project supervision across bachelor and master levels.

Dr. Weiss’s research emphasizes application-oriented R&D, including projects like ConforMJet (waterjet technology innovation) and Autarky (off-grid sewage treatment), funded by the CTI (Commission for Technology and Innovation) and Aargau Research Foundation. His work spans multiphysics modeling, thermal energy management, two-phase flows, and additive manufacturing applications in fluid systems.

His publications explore fluid dynamics, spray systems, and energy systems, with a focus on CFD-driven analysis of phenomena like cavitation, ultrasonic manipulation, and phase-change material behavior. He collaborates with industry and academic partners, contributing to sustainable engineering solutions and advanced manufacturing techniques.

Dr. Weiss advises student projects and has secured grants for projects addressing environmental and energy challenges. His lab, within the Institute of Thermal and Fluid Engineering, integrates experimental and numerical methods to advance fluid mechanics and environmental engineering practices.
