Karin Schwarzenberger

Karin Schwarzenberger is a researcher at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), leading the group for Interfacial Phenomena within the Department of Transport Processes at Interfaces. She has held positions at TU Dresden, including post-doctoral work and temporary leadership of projects during academic leave periods. Her research focuses on interfacial dynamics, multiphase flow, and pattern formation in fluid systems.

• PhD in Experimental Investigations on Stationary Solutal Marangoni Instability (2015)
• Diploma in Process Engineering from TU Dresden (2010)

Her work spans topics such as particle interactions at interfaces, magnetic separation of ions, foam fractionation, and reaction front dynamics. Recent publications emphasize coacervation, bubble behavior, and microgravity effects. She combines experimental methods with numerical simulations to study fluid systems.

Notable publication trends include applications in materials science, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering, with subfields like surfactant-polymer interactions, direct laser patterning, and dissipative structures. Her research has implications for resource technology and industrial processes.

She has worked at TU Dresden's Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology. Current affiliations include the HZDR's Fluid Dynamics Institute. No scientific awards or student advisement details are publicly listed.
