PROF. ALTMEYER, Sebastian Andreas
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)
Prof. Sebastian Altmeyer is an Serra Húnter associate professor in School of Telecom and Aerospace Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. He received two Pre-Diplomas (B.Sc. degree) in Mathematics and Physics in 2004, the Diploma (M.Sc. degree) in Physics in 2007 and Ph.D. degree in Theoretical Physics at University Saarland (Germany). Hereafter he worked as Postdoctoral researcher at different institutions. First at the Department of Mathematics at Kyungpook National University (South Korea), hereafter at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (Germany) from where he moved to Institute of Science and Technology (Austria). He joined the Castelldefels School of Telecom and Aerospace Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya as Serra-Húnter Fellow (tenure track) in 2017, where he became recently promoted to an Associate Professor (2022). He has carried out research and academic activities for more 15 years at the different institutions and to date has published 42 papers. His main research interest is in Computational Fluid Dynamics with emphasis of complex systems, nonlinear dynamics, pattern formation, computational methods and bifurcation theory. He is also interested in complex fluids as ferrofluids, for which he has been modifying and optimizing models to numerical simulate ferrofluidic flows to match experimental observations, e.g. considering particle interaction, internal field magnetization. Key goal of simulations are to obtaining physical insight into complex fluids to understand complex flow physics and modeling requirements as well to explore their potential use for flow control. Recently the research area expand into the aero-spacial sector with focus on numerical simulations using genetic codes for optimal mission design and efficiency.
