Jens Harting

Prof. Jens Harting leads the 'Modelling of Thin Films' research group at the Helmholtz-Institut Erlangen-Nürnberg für Erneuerbare Energien (HI ERN). His work focuses on fluid dynamics, thin film behavior, and computational modeling. Key research areas include reactive thin films, microfluidic systems, and nanoscale particle interactions. He has published extensively in top journals like Advanced Materials, Physical Review Letters, and Journal of Fluid Mechanics. Notable contributions include studies on inertial particle migration, bioinspired microswarm robotics, and lattice Boltzmann method optimizations. Current projects explore phase-field simulations for thin film evaporation and energy materials. No awards are explicitly listed, but his work is widely cited in nanotechnology and materials science.
