Biography

Anton Darhuber is a Full Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at Eindhoven University of Technology. He is an expert in the physics underlying micro- and nanofluidics. His research focuses on surfactant-driven flows, photochemical reactions, interactions of atmospheric plasmas with liquid films, and generation of electrical surface charge patterns in flowing and evaporating fluids. He also studies laser-induced ruptures of thin liquid films and flow control through substrates with chemical and topological surface patterns, as well as thermo-solutocapillary flows and the manipulation of droplets under dynamic temperature distributions. His research has significant technological applications, including offset-inkjet printing, coating flows, evaporative lithography, enhanced oil recovery, and laser-induced pattern generation in solution suspension films. Darhuber obtained his Master's degree in Applied Physics from the University of Linz in Austria and earned his PhD there in 1998. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow and Research Staff Member in the Departments of Chemical Engineering and Electrical Engineering at Princeton University from 1999 to 2006. In 2007, he was appointed Full Professor at TU/e, where he leads the Mesoscopic Transport Phenomena research group and is a member of the University Council.
