Dotan Ilssar

Dr. Dotan Ilssar is affiliated with ETH Zürich as part of the Professorship for Mechanics and Materials, based in the Department of Mechanics and Materials Research. His work focuses on fluid dynamics, materials science, and acoustics, with a particular emphasis on thin films, hyperelastic materials, and acoustic levitation systems. He is located at Tannenstrasse 3, Zurich, and can be reached at dilssar@ethz.ch.

His research spans interdisciplinary areas including fluid mechanics, mechanical engineering, and soft matter physics. Key themes include the dynamics of reconfigurable microfluidic systems, non-Newtonian fluid behavior in shock absorbers, and the interfacial instabilities in soft microfluidic configurations. His work on acoustically levitated objects explores both theoretical models and experimental implementations, addressing challenges in control systems and device design.

Dr. Ilssar’s publications emphasize rigorous analysis of phenomena such as fixed-volume pinned films, ultrasonic actuator dynamics, and hyperelastic balloon inflation/deflation. His contributions bridge fundamental science with engineering applications, particularly in acoustics and fluid-structure interactions.
