Research
...is experimental physics focussing on the dynamics of pattern formation.
The investigated systems can be devided into (complex) fluids and (wet) granular matter.

| 1. Individual glass particles suspended in water; | |
| 2. Their collective assembly to mushroom-like structures; | |
| 3. The time sequence of a suspension in a rotating drum demonstrates demixing; | |
| 4. Artificial creeping dunes created by shear flow; | |
| 5. A drop of a magnetic liquid (ferrofluid) before pinch-off; | |
| 6. Spatio-temporal image of convection rolls in a liquid crystal. | |
