Nikolaus Adams is a Full Professor of Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where he leads research in the development of numerical methods for modeling and simulation of transitional turbulent flows, fluid-structure interactions, microfluidics, and multi-phase flows. His focus includes both experimental and numerical work in vehicle and aircraft aerodynamics, emphasizing high-speed aerodynamics. Adams completed his undergraduate education in Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Stuttgart, where he also received his doctorate in engineering in 1993. He was awarded a two-year postdoctoral fellowship with the Stanford University NASA Ames Research Center. In 1999, he obtained his postdoctoral teaching qualification (habilitation) from ETH Zürich and continued his career as a Senior Lecturer in 2002. He accepted a position at TU Dresden and later became a Full Professor at TUM in 2004. Throughout his career, he has actively contributed to various academic initiatives and served as an Executive Editor for the Journal of Computational Physics. His significant contributions to the field have been recognized through several awards, including an ERC Advanced Grant and the Gordon Bell Prize for peak performance.
