Sebastian Aland

Sebastian Aland is a Professor for Modeling and Simulation at the Faculty of Computer Science/Mathematics, HTW Dresden, leading the Aland Lab which develops mathematical models for complex physical and biological systems involving moving/deforming interfaces. His work bridges mathematics, physics, and high-performance computing to address questions beyond experimental reach.

Research focuses on fluid-structure interactions in biological contexts, with key projects including:

• Pattern formation of active surfaces
• Numerical simulation of microswimmers
• Wetting of structured/elastic surfaces
• Biological cells in flow
• Marangoni flows at fluidic interfaces
• Lung development simulation

His methodologies enable exploration of cellular/tissue-level phenomena inaccessible to laboratory experiments.

Prof. Aland teaches Computer Science (room I905) and Building Systems Engineering (M55 program) courses, with office hours held in room Z359 during summer/winter semesters. His research provides fundamental insights into dynamic interfacial systems across physics and biology.
