Recipient of SSF Future research leaders grant
A future researcher leader is defined by SSF as a scientist of the highest standing who in addition displays a potential for leadership and management, an understanding of the process of implementing research results and who is prepared at a later stage of the research career to assume responsibility for constellations larger than her/his own research group.

Paper published in Nature Communications
How do appendages such as hair, feathers and plumes of an organism contribute to locomotion? In contrast to active mechanisms such flapping or undulating, passive mechanisms for locomotion are much harder to identify, since they have to extract energy from the surrounding fluid by exploiting instabilities. In a paper published in Nature Comm, we present a new fundamental mechanism for how passive appendages can aid locomotion.
Our experiments, computations and theoretical model establish that a body with a protrusion drifts to the right or left of the incoming stream of water or air. This phenomenon arises due to the nonlinear and many-degree-freedom interaction of the fluid and body, yet – as we uncover with a simple model – its physical mechanism is simple and intuitive. We all have an intuition for the inverted-pendulum instability from balancing a pen on our finger; the same instability occurs when a body moves in a fluid, but instead of a gravitational force, a pressure force behind a body provides the destabilizing conditions.
