Andreas received his PhD in Physics from the TU Berlin in 2014. He has been awarded an EU-funded Marie Skłodowska Curie Individual Fellowship to work at the University of Oxford and continued his postdoctoral work at the ESPCI Paris. After a short research stay as a Junior Research Fellow at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute in Vienna, he has been awarded a Lise-Meitner Fellowship to work at the TU Wien. He joined University of Vienna as a University Assistant in 2021, and finished his habilitation in December 2022. His research focuses on theoretical and numerical modeling of soft and active matter systems such as the individual and collective dynamics of microswimmers and microparticles in flow, in confinement and in complex fluids.
Stephan studies the influence of chirality on bacteria swimming in complex flows and microenvironments. (During his mastwer thesis he studied the effective interaction between two soft star-like core-shell particles.)
