Tatiana Gambaryan-Roisman

Dr. Tatiana Gambaryan-Roisman is an Adjunct Professor (Apl. Prof.) at Technische Universität Darmstadt, where she leads the research group Interfacial Transport and Complex Wetting. She holds a D.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Technion and completed her habilitation in Heat Transfer at TU Darmstadt. Her research explores interfacial phenomena, including droplet dynamics, evaporation/condensation, and heat transfer enhancement using nanostructured surfaces.

Her work integrates experimental and computational methods to study:

• Drop impact on heated/deformable substrates
• Marangoni convection in thin films
• Wetting of porous and textured materials
• Nanoparticle assembly and battery interface engineering

Recent publications focus on droplet coalescence, evaporation kinetics, and lithium-ion battery interfaces, demonstrating consistent innovation in thermal-fluid sciences. She coordinates EU projects like nanoPaInt and has led the Emmy Noether Research Group.

Awards include:

• Ralf-Dahrendorf Prize for European Research (2019)
• Emmy Noether Grant (2002–2009)
• Minerva Fellowship (1998–2000)

She serves on editorial boards for Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science and Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, and organizes international conferences like Droplets 2021.
