Tobias Lamping

Tobias Lamping is a Research Associate at the Institute for Particle Technology (iPAT) within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Braunschweig University of Technology. He has been working at the university since 2023, focusing on advanced simulation techniques for space exploration and industrial engineering applications.

His educational background includes a Master's degree in Automotive Engineering and Mobile Systems (2020-2023) and a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (2017-2020), both from Braunschweig University of Technology. His thesis work established his expertise in computational modeling of complex particle-fluid interactions.

Lamping's research centers on developing sophisticated simulation frameworks combining Computational Fluid Dynamics and Discrete Element Method for analyzing granular material behavior in extreme environments. His current work addresses critical challenges in lunar landing systems where rocket plumes interact with regolith surfaces, with significant implications for future space missions.

His publication record shows emerging expertise in space-related fluid-particle interactions, particularly through his 2025 Acta Astronautica paper analyzing plume-surface dynamics with manufactured landing pads. This research bridges theoretical modeling with practical space engineering requirements.

As system administrator for PVZ (Center of Pharmaceutical Engineering), Lamping demonstrates cross-disciplinary capabilities extending beyond his primary mechanical engineering focus into pharmaceutical process engineering applications of particle technology.
