Detlef Lohse

Detlef Lohse is a Full Professor in the Department of Physics of Fluids at the University of Twente's MESA+ Institute. His research focuses on fluid dynamics, multiphase flows, and phase change phenomena such as melting and evaporation. He has contributed extensively to understanding bubbly flows, convective systems, and interfacial dynamics. His work intersects with applications in energy storage, environmental physics, and materials science.

Key research interests include:

• Bubble dynamics and drag reduction in turbulent flows
• Thermal and solutal convection in porous media
• Melting processes and solidification front dynamics
• Evaporation of multi-component droplets
• Numerical methods for multiphase flow modeling

He has received prestigious awards including the Spinoza Prize (2005) and AkzoNobel Science Award (2012). His over 1,000 publications demonstrate leadership in fluid physics and interdisciplinary research. Supervised 124 research works, reflecting his mentorship in fluid dynamics and related fields.
