Dr. Martien Hulsen

Biography

Martien Hulsen is an Associate Professor in Computational Rheology at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research focuses on the development and application of numerical methods in materials processing, particularly for polymer liquids at both small and large scales. His work includes micro-rheology and the rheology of polymer blends, addressing larger scale problems like the manufacturing of tires. Additionally, he has special interests in particle dynamics, stability in polymer flows, interface rheology, and the simulation of additive manufacturing (3D printing) using food polymer materials. His research often intersects with new computational techniques in the flow of polymer liquids across diverse disciplines, providing insights into areas like thermal physics. Hulsen has a well-established academic background, having studied Mechanical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology, where he obtained his master’s degree in 1981 before completing his PhD at Delft University of Technology under the supervision of Professor P. Wesseling in 1988. He began his career as an Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology before moving to Eindhoven University in 2001, where he now holds a position in the Polymer Technology group and is also on the editorial board of the Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics.
