Nick O. Jaensson

Nick O. Jaensson is an Assistant Professor (tenure track) in the Processing and Performance of Materials group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He holds affiliations with the ICMS and is part of the Mechanical Engineering department. His research focuses on numerical methods for soft materials, including complex fluids like suspensions, emulsions, and polymeric liquids. He collaborates with industry on optimizing processes such as microfluidics and material processing.

Academic Background: Master's in Biomedical Engineering (2012) and PhD in Polymer Technology (2016), both from TU/e. Postdoc at ETH Zürich (2018) before joining TU/e in 2020.

Research Interests: Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, interfacial rheology, uncertainty quantification, and physics-informed machine learning. His work bridges fundamental insights into material microstructure and industrial applications.

Award: Walters Prize (2018) for contributions to non-Newtonian fluid mechanics.

Teaching & Courses: Advanced computational continuum mechanics, interfacial transport phenomena, and design/programming principles. Supervised 19 students (no names listed).

Projects: Leads the DAMOCLES project (2021–2025), focusing on data-augmented modeling for engineering systems.

Labs/Teams: Head of the Processing and Performance of Materials group, collaborating with experimental and computational teams.
