Dirk Wilhelm

Prof. Dr. Dirk Wilhelm serves as Dean of the School of Engineering and Professor of Medical Physics at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). With extensive experience spanning academic leadership and industry R&D, his work focuses on integrating computational methods with experimental physics.

His research bridges NMR spectroscopy, fluid dynamics, and machine learning, with particular emphasis on:

• Developing deep learning frameworks for NMR spectral analysis and classification
• Modeling fluid-structure interactions in biomedical devices
• Advancing computational fluid dynamics for industrial applications
• Designing cryogenic instrumentation for high-resolution spectroscopy

Recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward AI-driven analytical methods in NMR spectroscopy, with several studies focusing on spectral deconvolution, multiplet classification, and signal processing using deep neural networks. Earlier foundational work established expertise in computational fluid dynamics, particularly in instability analysis and multiphase flow modeling.

His research group actively collaborates with industrial partners including Bruker BioSpin, with projects ranging from microturbine design to pharmaceutical pump optimization.
