Matthias Schröter

Dr. Matthias Schröter is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Duke Kunshan University and a consultant at Hypatia - Science Consulting. His research focuses on granular physics, statistical mechanics, and imaging techniques, with emphasis on granular packing structures, fluid dynamics, and material characterization. He holds a habilitation (postdoctoral qualification) and has conducted postdoctoral research from 2015-2018.

His work spans experimental and theoretical studies, including analysis of granular shear bands, X-ray tomography of particle systems, and neutron tomography for porous media. He has contributed to understanding contact networks in frictional ellipsoid packs and coarsening mechanisms in granular mixtures. His expertise includes advanced imaging methods such as superresolution microscopy and neutron tomography.

Research interests include granular matter dynamics, phase transitions in granular systems, and structural analysis of amorphous materials. His publications frequently address experimental methodologies for granular media characterization and fluid dynamics in porous systems.

He has advised on projects involving granular segregation, fluid flow in porous media, and thermal characterization of granular systems. His consulting work bridges academic research with industrial applications in materials science and imaging technology.
