Henning Bonart

TU Darmstadt/Mechanical Engineering/Nano- and Microfluidics

Hi, my name is Henning!

I am a group leader and Athene Young Investigator at the Institute for Nano- and Microfluidics (NMF) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Technische Universität Darmstadt (TUDa).

I received a B.Sc. (2012) and an M.Sc. (2016) in chemical and process engineering from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Technische Universität Berlin (TUB). Afterward, I was a research associate at TUB and a visiting scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2019, funded by DAAD. I received a Dr.-Ing. in fluid process engineering with distinction in 2021. Then I moved to TUDa and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2021, I was awarded my own Walter Benjamin position at TUDa and a fellowship at MIT (2022), both from DFG. Since 2023, I have been leading a group at NMF at TUDa with a project in the ETOS future cluster funded by the BMBF. Recently, I have been selected as an Athene Young Investigator at TUDa.

I aim to understand, design, and control complex multiphase phenomena by integrating state-of-the-art methods from computational fluid dynamics, Bayesian inference, and physics-informed machine learning, complemented by innovative experiments.

I love to spend time with my three children and enjoy running, podcasts, and reading.
