Dr. E.J. (Eize) Stamhuis is an Associate Professor of Experimental Marine Zoology at the University of Groningen and holds a concurrent position as Professor of Biological Fluid Mechanics & Locomotion at the University of Applied Sciences Bremen (until July 2017). He is affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Engineering and the Biomimetics research group. His roles include Programme Director for the MSc 'Energy & Environmental Sciences' and Director of Education at the Energy & Sustainability Institute Groningen (ESRIG) until October 2024.
His research focuses on biological fluid mechanics, locomotion of marine/aquatic/aerial organisms, unsteady hydro- and aerodynamics, biomimetics, and filtration systems. Key interests include boxfish hydrodynamics, bio-inspired energy solutions (e.g., ocean current turbines, wind turbine designs), and functional morphology of swimming and flight. He has collaborated internationally on projects involving biomimetic technologies for sustainable energy and transportation.
Recent work highlights include studies on boxfish carapace hydrodynamics, biomimetic turbine blade design for ocean energy, and bio-inspired truck streamlining. His research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean energy and environmental sustainability.
Stamhuis has supervised 3 doctoral students and been involved in over 50 research activities, including conference presentations and datasets on topics like boxfish stability and filtration systems. He is frequently cited in media for innovations such as the Albatrozz wind turbine project, which mimics albatross flight mechanics for improved energy efficiency.
