Lennart Schulze

Lennart Justin Schulze has been a PhD Student in the MOSAIC group from June 2021 until October 2025. Since then, he is a wrap-up postdoc in the group.

Lennart has studied Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Munich with semesters abroad at Keio University in Japan and as a visiting scholar in the Dalrymple group at Northwestern University in the United States. During his studies, he was a teaching and research assistant of the faculties of Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering, and was supported by scholarships of the TU Munich, JASSO and the DAAD.

After investigating classical numerical approaches such as Galerkin methods for contact mechanics, he focused on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics modeling of fluid dynamics. His contributions to the SPH community include a formulation for variable surface tension in multiphase flows as well as kernel gradient correction schemes for water wave propagation.

In our group, Lennart develops novel mesh-free particle methods for geometric computing on point clouds. His works pave the way for solving challenging 3D biological hydrodynamics problems in complex moving and deforming geometries.
